Over Christmas I came up with the idea of using an interactive game to make a rather complex consultation process about training and development for leaders and managers in the youth workforce in England accessible to young people.

Within an afternoon of Drupal development, I was rather suprised to find I had managed to get a rough site together, and with a little more work - to get an, if not beautiful, at least functional, site up and running.

The site makes quite a bit of used of jQuery (I had to upgrade the jQuery D5 comes with to use various add-on jQuery plugins) and uses CCK with forms over-ridden in the theme system.

I was surprised by just how powerful the theming system is, and how much possibility jQuery adds as well.

The site is available here: http://tinyurl.com/243wr7

And I've written some brief reflections about it, and about the principle of using online games for consultation on the blog here: http://www.timdavies.org.uk/2008/01/29/youth-workforce-dream-team-explor...

I'll aim to write and post an evaluation of the site in late February linked on that same blog.
