Welcome to the module ‘Virtual Environments: Is one life enough?’ being offered as an elective module to second and third year students in the Dublin School of Creative Arts.
The first class meeting will be on Wednesday 4th October at 8:30 pm. We meet online every week at DIT in Second Life. Please note: you will need a Mac or PC desktop or laptop to access SL – you cannot do so with a mobile device. If you are new to Second Life, known as SL, then start by reading Getting into Second Life to find out how to access the class. You should then visit SL and find the DIT campus, learn how to get around the virtual world and familiarise yourself with the environment and how to control your avatar. This will take a few hours so give yourself plenty of time before class starts.
Please read pages 1 to 9 in the column to the right also. If you would like to find out more about what to expect during the semester read the posts in this blog: all classes since 2009 have been summarised.
Email John O’Connor if you have any difficulties.
