DrillKit is a new type of modular and extensible e-learning application. It is built on top of the Content Management System (CMS) called Drupal.
It has four different learning tools: Concepts, Clinical Cases, Flash Card Sets, and Quizzes. DrillkKit also has a Glossary.
This project was made possible by a grant from National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
DrillKit uses Drupal as its Content Management System (CMS). Drupal is an open source CMS that is very flexible and extensible backed by a large community of developers.
