The D4LD ProjectThe D4LD project (Developing for Learning Design) is funded under Design for Learning Programme. It is a joint project between The Open University, Liverpool Hope University and the Open University of the Netherlands.The Sled Player was originally designed as a 'proof of concept' project - one of the main aims of the D4LD project is to make the Sled player (together with the Coppercore engine) that it is based on more stable and usable for practical use. Development work will initially focus on performance and robustness to get this up to a suitable standard and then on usability improvements. The Sled code developed can be downloaded from the Sled sourceforge site and the Coppercore code from the Coppercore sourceforge site. Mark Barrett-Baxendale, Amanda Oddie and Paul Hazlewood from Liverpool Hope who already have experience of using the player with their students will be using and the new version of the software with students and evaluating it. There are also hopes that it will be possible for the project to integrate in some manner with other projects in the Design for Learning programme. Performance TestingPerformance testing of Sled 3.0 was completed in April 2007 the results of the tests can be downloaded here. The complete performance data can be downloaded here.
