3. Traditional vs E-Learning
Effective eLearning and knowledge management solutions are essential
elements of success for most organizations.
A large number of people are still hesitant to try out unconventional
learning methods owing to a number of reasons.

4. Traditional vs E-Learning
Challenges Become Opportunities
Tracking the attendance Authenticate students
Create student/teacher
relationships
Conduct individualized instructions
Facilitate classroom management Provide relevant and current materials
Conduct guided and group
discussions
Create virtual classrooms
Manage group dynamics Support vigor, authenticity
Manage interruptions Faster loading time

5. Distinct organizations have different learning workflow, assignment
mechanism, and management process of students.
With Drupal, it is easy to customize the framework according to your
needs.
Drupal's flexibility allows you to build custom and specific solutions.
You can also create standard sets of code and extend them to meet
particular client use cases.

6. Covering the Challenges and Needs with
Drupal

7. A well-planned e-Learning system will address the issues in a
strong and effective way, flexible to meet the unique needs of all
the participants.
1. Digital Classrooms
One of the important goals is to create the digital classrooms in a
way that it keeps the feel of the classroom alive.
Drupal module: Organic groups enable the users to create and
manage their own 'groups' with the functionality of subscribers.

8. When conducting virtual groups, user roles, types, and permissions are
important for the security and smooth functioning of the groups also
known as virtual class.
Out of the box, Drupal 8 offers different user types, roles, and
permissions which can be leveraged so the teacher (group coordinator)
has access to different resources than the rest.
Drupal module: Multiple Registration module to create two user
registration pages. One for general users and one, let's say, for hosters.
2. Multiple User Types

10. 3. Adding Content
To tap into different learning styles the presentation of the information
in multiple formats simultaneously is important.
Drupal Module: IMCE module helps in image/file uploader and browser
that support personal directories and quota.
4. Managing Menu
Drupal Module: Menu Block allows you to display blocks of menu links
starting with any desired level of a menu and limited to any desired
depth.

11. 5. Managing Non-text Content
To keep the learning interesting, teachers can organize quizzes, voting,
or add different videos. One of Drupal’s strengths is presenting
different bits of information to different users based on permissions,
roles, and other identifiers.
Drupal Module: Quiz and Five star rating help in the same.
6. Organizing the Content
Correctly classifying information is a very early premise in education
and library sciences.

13. Challenges Become Opportunities With Drupal
Tracking the attendance Authenticate students School Administration module
to keep a track of attendance
Create student/teacher
relationships
Conduct individualized
instructions
Views and Taxonomy tagging
ŽReuse and repurpose with
Individualize content.
Facilitate classroom
management
Provide relevant and
current materials
Modules such as Web form
and Quiz.
ŽAssess comprehension or
survey and compile results
and data
Conduct guided and group
discussions
Create virtual classrooms Comments, Forums, Polls
(Drupal core)
ŽProvide interactivity
Manage group dynamics Support vigor,
authenticity
Modules - Group - to facilitate
groups
Manage interruptions Faster loading Modules such as memcache

14. Building Techtud with Drupal

15. Techtud is an Edu-Tech social networking site and was started in
2013. It combines various features of social networking which help
improve learning experience with videos and pictures & user
engagement.
Techtud currently gets 500,000 page views per month to serve
20,000+ users all around the globe.

16. The idea was to promote the culture of learning while sharing, on a
platform which was dynamic in its own sphere. So the platform was
built:
1) To reinvent the traditional form of learning
2) Through a social media platform
3) Where students can not only watch videos but also add content for
the larger community.

17. Building Techtud meant building a community which would promote
the idea of “Quality education for all”.

18. A large number of people are still hesitant to try out unconventional
learning methods owing to a number of reasons. Effective eLearning
and knowledge management solutions are an essential element of
success for most organizations.
