    Open Academy is an easy to use Drupal product from Chapter Three specifically designed to create university department websites. Over the past few years, we have worked closely with the nation's leading universities - including Stanford, UC Berkeley, NYU, USC, and UCSF - to help them build great Drupal websites.  We now distilling down that knowledge down and offering it as a fully functional Drupal 7 powered "Departmental Website in a Box" package. Open Academy is currently being refined in a closed alpha/beta with an initial group of users, but will be rolling out more widely this summer. If you are interested in participating in our beta process, sign-up for our beta-list and follow @chapter_three for more updates. 

     

    As a best practice departmental website, Open Academy lets you quickly and simply create a new departmental website by entering some basic information about your site in our installation wizard which sets everything up for you. For starters, we baked in critical functionality around departmental news, faculty profiles, publications and presentations, events and calendaring, courses, resources and links, video, social media, and degrees and programs.

    In addition, we have built in a state of the art administration dashboard, basic SEO rules, WYSIWYG editing functionality, 508 Accessibility Compliance, and drag-and-drop page layout from the always amazing Panels module. All of this has been developed on a cleanly extendible Drupal 7 install profile with Features-based, Kit Compliant functionality and a well documented starter theme you can modify and extend to meet your particular needs.

    As a long-time Drupalist, I have to confess a wandering heart. Over the past couple years, I've grown more and more interested in other software and bigger-picture issues, branching out from the trials and triumphs of developing sites with my favorite CMS and looking increasingly at issues of integration and platforms. However, recent news has brought Drupal itself right back into the center of my thinking.

    I saw the utility of Drupal distributions first hand at CivicSpace. Beyond technology, the ability to discuss a web technology solution in the context of a specific market (in this case non-profits) is very powerful. Suddenly, you can translate abstract technology concepts ('tags', 'wikis', 'blogs') to specific pain points and use cases ('event organizing', 'taking donations', 'creating a dialogue with supporters').

    What Drupal Isn't

    First things first, Drupal just isn't a very good product. I've spent the better part of the last five years working on Drupal. Not on the core patches (I'm no good at those) but on the other side of the technology, the part the people use. And I'll tell you for certain, while people very much want websites, they don't want just Drupal. Even if they thought they did, they won't soon after they log in for the first time with UID 1.
