Sloodle aims to integrate the virtual world Second Life with the learning management system Moodle. This is done by providing access to Moodle tools and content from within Second Life. Sloodle also develops new tools like a digital dropbox to better support sharing and submitting 3D projects between the two environments. The goals are to combine the social aspects of Second Life with the learning support of Moodle. Sloodle is still a work in progress but has made progress on user authentication and tools to allow chat, submissions, and permissions between the two platforms.
