With a greater uptake of open-source Moodle happening here in the WA VET sector, it may interest some people to know that some bright sparks have decided to look at combining Moodle with the 3D online environment of Second Life.
From the site:
Sloodle is Open Source. We develop learning tools and structures for educators exploring 3D Multi-User Virtual Environments. Our first objective is to connect Second Life with Moodle.
I’ll be interested to see if they pull it off. Of course, I’m still waiting to see them combine Second Life with Amazon. I like the idea of wandering down the aisles of a giant bookstore.
Onward to Sloodle!
