The goal of the SOCL Project is to use US federal funding to create an open source, online social networking platform customized to the needs of faculty and students.
SOCL incorporates community-building elements with social gaming to increase student motivation and success. A pilot study on 600 students was conducted during the Summer 2010 semester and was a great success. See the Project History for the rationale for this project and the Pilot Data to learn more.
The Principle Investigator of the SOCL Project is Richard N. Landers (PI of TNTLab, part of Old Dominion University[1]).
