I've been working hard on creating educational material for SL, inside SL, however I'd like to know if anyone has had a good/bad experience with putting content on the web and linking it from a kiosk in SL or such.

and has anyone used Moodle? (www.moodle.org)

I have used moodle and it is very cool. Integrating it with SL is definitely a good direction to go in.

On that note, it would be interesting to meet with people who would like to build formal educational programs in SL, including

+ K-12
+ Certification, Accreditation courses
+ Course planning and objective measurement of student achievement
+ Teacher and course evaluation

My general experience in SL has been that people are interested in hanging out and informally teaching various subjects, but things like full in-world classes, testing, and teacher evaluation all seem to be low priority.

I think that is a shame, as education should be a global, efficient resource where the only barrier between you and full-on learning should be ambition and perhaps an internet cafe.
