(meeting up in SL during Daniel's presentation)Daniel giving us an exposition on education in Second Life and how aspects can be directly used in Moodle.
SLOODLE0.4 released with new functionality, SLOODLE is being used widely by educational groups around the world on both full SL but also on OpenSim ( open source grids) OS Grid and ReactionGrid.It was great to meet Daniel in SL and RL
SLOODLE :
'Version 0.4 integrates Second Life 3D classrooms with Moodle, the world’s most popular open source e-learning system with over 30 million users (http://www.moodle.org). This latest release allows teachers and students to prepare materials in an easy-to-use, web-based environment and then log into Second Life to put on lectures and student presentations using their avatars.
The new tools also let students send images from inside Second Life directly to their classroom blog. Students are finding this very useful during scavenger hunt exercises where teachers send them to find interesting content and bring it back to report to their classmates.
Tools that cross the web/3D divide are becoming more popular as institutions want to focus on the learning content rather than the technical overhead involved in orienting students into 3D settings and avatars.'
You can install the SLOODLE module onto your Moodle server from here

Great to see you folks in SL too. Shame there was no audio though. I was left guessing somewhat.

Hi Spookingdorf it was interesting I haven't been inworld for a while. It was interesting as Daniel was presenting in RL at the time hence no audio!
