Bill Fitzgerald of FunnyMonkey is mentoring a student with the Google Summer of Code project. The student will be working on an Assignment/Gradebook module for Drupal.

Based on feedback from students using Drupal in my classes over the last couple of years, the ability to check grades online is the single most important feature missing from Drupal when compared to their experiences with WebCT. Moreover, even though the community/collaboration/configurability features of Drupal make it an excellent online platform for the writing classroom, more traditional teaching types are used to the course administration emphasis of proprietary learning management systems. This is a much needed addition if Drupal is to be adopted more in the mainstream.
