Longsight Helps Launch Liberal-Arts-Focused Academic Commons

Longsight built the Academic Commons using the Drupal content management system. Longsight added an editorial workflow system, new content types, and a group system that provides ad-hoc, web-backed email lists.

Drupal Introducing  Academic Commons

Academic Commons offers a forum for investigating and defining the role that technology can play in liberal arts education. Sponsored by the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts at Wabash College, Academic Commons publishes essays, reviews, interviews, showcases of innovative uses of technology, and vignettes that critically examine technology uses in the classroom. Academic Commons aims to share knowledge, develop collaborations, and evaluate and disseminate digital tools and innovative practices for teaching and learning with technology. We want this site to advance opportunities for collaborative design, open development, and rigorous peer critique of such resources.
