Sloodle: education, meet virtual reality

Imagine the classroom of the future. Does it look something like this?

Learn more at Sloodle – the “3D Learning Management System.” It’s a work in progress, as is most open source software. Here’s the vision:

SLoodle is a project to integrate the VLE platform Moodle with the 3D world of Second Life. Imagine a Moodle course that, if you wanted, could turn into a proper 3D interactive classroom with all your Moodle resources available to your students in the virtual world.

Wow. Wow, I say. I wish this group all the success in the world. This is just way too fabulously cool. All start-ups should dream big.

(I saw a link to this at A Media Circus while researching blogs for my weekly SLOB list).
