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 was 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 reserved” 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. SLOOP is a Community of teachers, from many countries, who share LOs in an Open Content philosophy.

[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”.
