In this short article, I am going to look at using the view reference module as a means of adding a view to a page. With this method, you can create a content type that has an option to display content from a view. You can use a view as is or pass it an argument. The sections below present a sample scenario, steps for implementing view reference, and a layout tip.

In the early 1990's, the VP of TRW's System's Division was strongly encouraging the use of continuous improvement processes (CIP) to improve the way employees performed their work. The goal was to increase customer satisfaction and thus increase the probability of continued business and growth. I was one of the division's process improvement agents at the time. If memory serves me, I was asked to write up a summary of the work my improvement team was doing so that others would be motivated to do the same. Below is what I wrote. I share this with you in fun so please have fun reading it.

In this short article, I am going to share with you what Jess Snyder is doing with her sites by using the CCK computed field module. With this method, you can create a content type that is designed to display content from a view after the node has passed an argument to the view.

Have you ever wished that the data table you created in a view could be combined with the content of your Drupal page? Below are three ways that you might want to combine your node content and views results. There are more but you get the picture, right?

Information architecture (IA) is an emerging practice being integrated into multiple disciplines so it is hard to find one definition that multiple disciplines share. Below are three definitions.

Sometimes instruction is more than how-to steps in a video- or print-based tutorial. There are a lot of Drupal tutorials available and the best ones offer more than the steps you should follow in order to accomplish a task in Drupal. They sprinkle in foundational facts, concepts, principles, and/or rules about the procedure to accommodate different learner skill levels and to help make the tutorial more memorable, more understandable. I can't tell you that the developers of these successful tutorials know they are doing this (for all I know they are natural instructors), but if you want some ideas on how to make your tutorials (video or print) a little better, I offer you this resource on instructional design content structures. Each structure can play a role in the learning process.
