Module starts on Wed 14 Oct

September 30, 2009

The module starts on Wednesday 14 October at 8 pm. Please read the instructions on ‘Getting into Second Life’ and ‘Activate voice in SL’. The links to these pages are in the column on the right. You will need to have a little bit of experience getting around Second Life so give yourself some time to play around a few days before the first class. Also make sure you log into Second Life at least 15 minutes before the class starts so that any technical glitches are resolved and you don’t miss anything.

The address for the DIT campus in Second Life is given in the link at the right.
