The obs_classroom module is a module for managing schools with divisions and classrooms. Each classroom is assigned a user/teacher to manage this classroom. The teacher can then create new classes in that classroom and create blocks of certain built-in types for presenting information.

Jason Massey, funder of the module says:

"The obs_classroom module was developed by Mithrandir for my company, Out of the Box Solutions, Inc.. (Therefore the OBS in the name)

It was designed to meet the needs of one of our clients - Eton Academy. Eton Academy is a very special school for students with learning differences. The mission of Eton Academy is to help students understand their learning styles and practice strategies that will prepare them for responsible independence, lifelong learning and participation in school, family and community. The module will be open to the public on their site Jan 1, 2005.

Out of the Box Solutions, Inc. has funded the development of this module, and is pleased to release it to the community so that as many as possible may benefit from it.

Thank you,

Jason Massey

This module can be used for managing users' own pages, but categorising them into categories (schools) and sub-categories (divisions) with a little modification of the language files. It is currently only possible to have classrooms in the sub-categories, but that could change in the future. If anybody wants to work on this module, making it a more generic module for communities and users' own pages with better categorisation, feel free to do so.

Note that you will have to set the "Edit Mode" block visible and use this block to go to "Edit Mode" in order to add/edit/delete anything in this module
