[DG: Teaching & Learning] Second Life in Sakai

[Sean DeMonner]

Verity,

The short answer is no. Aside from creating SLURL resources and  
posting those on a Sakai website, I'm not aware of any Sloodle-like  
integration points.

That said I experimented with this notion a bit a year ago and posted  
the following blog summary:

	http://mblog.lib.umich.edu/slum/archives/2008/08/slakai_paris_co.html

Mostly it was related to getting the Sakai community interested in  
holding virtual conferences but I was also interested in gauging  
interest in building integration points. There wasn't much at that  
time given other priorities :-(

I'd definitely be interested in hearing if you find more interest in  
this time around.

SMD.
