Welcome to Sloodle!

Sloodle is an Open Source project which aims to develop and share useful, usable, desireable tools for supporting education in virtual worlds, making teaching easier. Through engagement with an active community of developers and users, the Sloodle project hopes to develop sound pedagogies for teaching across web-based and 3D virtual learning environments. Sloodle integrates the Second Life® multi-user virtual environment and the Moodle learning-management system.

You can find more details on the project and technical information on the development status on the Sloodle Wiki, while the source code is available on Google Code, along with the issues tracker.

You can also visit the Sloodle project in Second Life (currently also in the process of re-modelling!), here:

'SloodleMoot' took place on the 18th and 19th of January. More details and notes here!


Using Sloodle

Interested in experimenting with Sloodle or using it support your teaching? Currently there are a few elements which you can try out on this website. If you come to one of our inworld meetings you might find us using the web-intercom (chat logger) to take notes. Or you can pick-up a specially prepared version of the Sloodle Toolbar which will allow you to write blog entries on this site direct from Second Life. Visit the Sloodle project inside Second Life to learn more, and visit the SloodleDocs for user documentation.

Set-Up Your Own Sloodle

If you have enough technical support or nous, and your own server, you can download the Sloodle source code and install it on your own Moodle installation. You can find guidance on this inworld and on the wiki - and in this great set of Slootorial videos from Chris Surridge. More detailed documentation for Sloodle administrators can be found in the SloodleDocs.

If you run into problems, you can ask for help in world or on the forums.

Hosted Sloodle solutions are also available - ask on the forums for more information.

Sloodle Development

Anyone can become a Sloodle Developer and help with software development, localization and/or documentation - see the Sloodle Developer Docs for more information. If you still don't know where to start, ask on the forums and you'll get plenty of suggestions.

What experts are saying

"One of the things that I’m most excited about is a mashup between Second Life and the learning management system, Moodle. Its called Sloodle." - Joe Miller, VP Platform, Linden Lab

"Go to sloodle.com, this chocolate and peanut butter combination... compelling 3-D experiences, and then a really solid, open, free system." Steve Wexler, eLearning Guild.

"This sounds a brilliant idea to me. Instead of limiting yourself and your students to whiteboards, images and text, you can now offer fully interactive 3D objects, and let students build their own." Mark Wallace, 3PointD.com.
