SLOOP PROJECT
'SLOOP' is a project - funded by the European Commission - in the e-Learning & OpenContent fields. It promotes the sharing of free/open learning objects.
The original idea is to apply the free software philosophy to the production of pedagogical materials for the e-learning.
A Learning Object is, by definition, a '''reusable''' chunk of learning content: the reusability is the main motivation in favour of LOs. But if a LO is covered by copyright ''“all rights reservedâ€'' it can be reused from the technical point of view, but legally it is only reusable by the owner himself.
The SLOOP Project has introduced the idea of 'free/open Learning Object': LO with a licence which allows the material to be used freely, to be changed and to be distributed; obviously the code must be accessible.
SLOOP is a Community of teachers, from many countries, who share LOs in an Open Content philosophy.
In the SLOOP Project has been developed 'freeLOms', a ''free LO management system''.
SLOOP is a project co-funded by the European Community under the Leonardo da Vinci Programme.
SLOOP is the acronym of Sharing Learning Objects in an Open Perspective.
The address of the SLOOP site is the following: www.sloopproject.eu.
The SLOOP site has been created using Moodle in order to have the possibility to deliver courses and to activate discussion forums as the Communities of practice are the base of the development of the project.
The SLOOP Project aims
★ to promote and facilitate the integration of face to face learning, work-based learning and e-learning in order to improve the quality and efficiency of the learning process;
★ to customise learning paths by supporting them properly with multimedia learning objects;
★ to facilitate the creation and the use of education tools (learning objects) which are free, re-usable and shared among teaching communities according to the Free/Libre/Open-Source Software philosophy.
The SLOOP Project aims to develop and promote a technological platform - named ''freeLOms'' - to create, save and use easy-to-access online teaching material, modifiable according to the open source philosophy. The goal is to create a collection so-called Learning Object to international standards such as SCORM for teacher training and student education.
The SLOOP Project is funded with support from the European Commission under the European Commission "Leonardo da Vinci programme" – with partners in Italy, Ireland, Romania, Slovenia and Spain. It follows the seventh objective of the Copenhagen Declaration: ''“Focus more on the learning needs of teachers and trainers who operate in education professional developmentâ€''.
