Sloodle (Assigned to: Fleep Tuque, maybe Ferggo Pickles)
Host a version of Moodle that sits on OLN’s server which would integrate with SL and enable OLN SL island users to experiment with using the Sloodle LMS. Help teachers to connect their students' "in world" experiences to their course website outside of Second Life. OLN will provide technical support for Sloodle by installing the Moodle software on the server and update with patches as they become available.
 * Directive from Ohio Learning Network:** **Support the use and implementation of Sloodle.** 

Sloodle's Website: http://sloodle.org


 * What's already done:**
 * A Sloodle test set running on Fleep's personal Moodle install is in the TeachU building
 * Fleep will be attending the weekly Sloodle Community meetings on Tuesday evenings 2PM SLT.


 * What needs to be done:**


 * Everyone supporting the OLN island needs to sign up for an account on http://sloodle.org and complete the Sloodle Demo course to better understand what Sloodle is and how it works.
 * (Done) Fleep needs to contact Wilson at OLN to find out about the installation details.
 * (Done) Fleep is trying to schedule one of the Sloodle guys to give a presentation to the OLN community in January or March.
 * Waiting for a new release of SLOODLE to come out at the end of January for first trial install on the OLN Servers/island.
