DESCRIPTION
SLOODLE has moved recently from an experimental system to one actively used by a small but growing number of educators around the globe, and in a growing range of disciplines. This presentation will brieflyoutline what SLOODLE is and what SLOODLE does - explaining why integrating two such diverse platforms can be of benefit to educators and students. Examples and case-studies drawn from different classes that have been taught using Second Life and Moodle using SLOODLE will be used to illustrate the presentation. Preliminary results from user surveys (with tutors and students) will also be discussed.See: http://www.sloodle.org
