The article discusses the Simulation Linked Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (SLOODLE), a virtual learning tool that incorporates the Second Life virtual environment. Topics include faculty and staff skill required to implement SLOODLE, features of SLOODLE that support teachers, and SLOODLE functionality available to users. The authors believe SLOODLE represents a promising example of a multi-user virtual environment/virtual learning environment hybrid. Exactly which features of the model appeal most to teachers and students will become apparent over time.
