A lot of hard work and new ideas have gone into this version, hopefully revolutionising the way Sloodle tools are created. That's partly due to an all-new configuration system (whereby you configure the in-world objects on your website), and partly also due to the new localization, which transfers all the lingual output functionality to a separate LSL script via link message (which makes it easy to translate everything... hurrah!).
Things have also changed big-time on the Moodle side, so you now add 'instances' of Sloodle to your Moodle course if you want to access it from Second Life. These instances are currently called "Sloodle Controllers" (as they control access to your courses), but that is subject to change. This update increases security and flexibility, giving the educators control over how Sloodle behaves on their courses, instead of relying on an administrator setting a site-wide configuration.
Right... off to do Sloodle 101...
Oh, and btw, Second Life is (R) and (TM) Linden Lab etc. etc. and all that legal junk they want us to say every time we mention their product/service.

Blog SLOODLE Sloodle Alpha Testing
Just realised I haven't blogged in a while, so I thought I'd mention that the next major release of the Sloodle project (version 0.3) is pencilled in for the end of June/beginning of July this year, and we are getting started on the alpha testing phase.
