  Login Zone  
 

A Sloodle Login Zone is an area in Second Life where Moodle students can teleport into directly from the LMS by using a dynamic Second Life URL (slurl) that travels with the zone.

A Login Zone can be particularly useful for lesson planning. Consider an instructor who wishes to host class in-world in different locations each week. Instead of worrying about in-world teleports or messaging the slurl to the entire group each week, this object allows the single entry point via the LMS that can point to a completely adaptable "Login Zone" in Second Life.

Login Zones can also assist inexperienced students by providing a convenient method to be "sent" directly to their in-world class without having to worry about teleports, flying or even walking.
