Virtual Environments: Is one life enough?

CLASS SUMMARY:

Participants were introduced to Acuppa Tae and Locks Aichi, the module leaders, and Sitearm Madonna and Elfay Pinkdot, guest lecturers on the module. Tae explained that for the first half of the module classes would be based on reading material to be given in advance.
