[edit] Sharing Learning Objects in an Open Perspective
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 main idea of the project is to transfer the philosophy and the methodology of the Free/Libre/Open-Source Software to the Learning Object field.

[edit] SLOOP Project Aim
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 development”.
