"Sloodle is an Open Source GNU-GPL project which integrates multi-user virtual environments such as Second Life® with learning-management systems (VLEs) such as Moodle® and helps the community of educators in virtual worlds test curriculum innovations and advocate those proven successful. Sloodle provides a range of tools for supporting learning and teaching to the immersive virtual world; tools which are fully integrated with a tried and tested web-based learning management system used by thousands."
A visit to their website http://www.sloodle.org/moodle/ is where you can find downloads, tutorials and a wonderful case study of a cultural exchange between Korea and Dubai that happened in this platform! Also here is a link to Huntington Junior College's announcement of its foray into Sloodle where according to MarketWatch:
"By creating a “social presence” using a mash-up of Second Life
and Moodle, called Sloodle, in coordination with Campus Management’s student information system, HJC has created a full-service virtual campus that enhances faculty-student interaction while automating management of rosters, grades, drop/adds, and other administrative chores. Students log in once to the college’s portal, and can leap into their Second Life campus, attend class, and participate in online cafe conversations."
