Colonial Williamsburg Education Resource Libary

Open gallery

Created as way for teachers to access Colonial Williamsburg’s vast library of educational media.

Highlights

• 

  Pared down to the basics

  With the generous amount of resources available, I chose to limit my design to the basics to reduce the user's mental load.

• 

  Custom module to display resources

  I love the Views module, I do, but in this case it just couldn't handle three different content types, two different taxonomies, and grouping every which way from Sunday. Needless to say, I created my own module to display the three content types, nicely separated, and grouped by title, era, subject, or theme.

• 

  Provided access control

  The Teacher Institute materials can only be accessed by Teacher Institute partcipants. To enable that I used the Content Access, Rules, and Registration Code modules to enable per-node access.
