Course Management for Higher Education

philbar - December 17, 2008 - 22:31

I'm creating a website for multiple universities. This is what I'm trying to do:

- Create "professors" roles and classify each user according to a) "Institute" and b) "Subject".
- Create section of website which are classified as Institute > Subject
- Allow professor users to create Organic Groups called "Course" within the Institute and Subject that correlate to their individual classification.

What is the best way to go about this?

I've been playing with "Category" "Subgroups for Organic groups" and "Taxonomy Access Control" modules but cannot get the desired results.

--------------
For your information, I will also have a content type of articles that are classified by "Subject" which professors will be able assign to their "Course" using the "OG Audience" module.

There will be a student role which will only have access to the articles assigned to the "Course" for which they are a member.

Site Structuring using Categories and Organic Group Modules

Let me be a little clearer. I've created a PowerPoint of the website structure I'm trying to create.

http://docs.google.com/Presentation?id=dgscp3rr_271f43dj2cs

I need to create the following hierarchy:

Institution - Contains the following: Professor (User Role), Student (User Role), Course (Organic Group)
Subject - Contains the following: Professor (User Role), Resource (Container of Content), Course (Organic Group)
Resource - Contains the following: Document (Content Type), Video (Content Type), Audio (Content Type), Image (Content Type)

How do I structure my site in that way? I've investigate the Categories module and OG Subgroups but cannot figure it out.
