This course website is presented in an open-source content management system called Drupal (for information about Drupal, visit http://drupal.org/ [1]). One advantage to presenting the text in Drupal is that we can enable registered students to comment and ask questions directly on text pages. Another advantage is that Drupal allows us to publish the text openly for the benefit of anyone who has access to the Internet, regardless of their ability to pay tuition or buy an expensive printed textbook (this is applicable to certain courses in our program).
The Drupal content for this course is broken down into the following sections:
The syllabus links out to course description, and an account of what is expected of each student.
The orientation familiarizes registered students with the learning environments used to conduct Penn State courses.
A direct link into Canvas, Penn State's course management system.
