Virtual Environments: Is one life enough?

The class this Saturday began with Gentle Heron talking about the importance of accessibility when building in Second Life. The founder of Virtual Ability, she has a lifetime of experience in the area and her approach is based on the principle that ensuring accessibility is not simply to support the disabled but, it significantly improves results for everyone. Gentle also shared a link to the Second Life wiki on accessibility which has lots of useful information.

This was followed by a visit to the Happy Hippo Building School with Leslea Aldrin and JeZeBeLe Dagger. The school is a tremendous resource for anyone building in Second Life. It offers regular building classes at all levels and specialising in a range of topics from scripting to adding media. Many classes can be taken at your own convenience and are available all the time. The school is well worth visiting to see the huge range of support available. Here is the Landmark for the school in Second Life.

The VWEC Student Challenge presented a Absolute Beginners Building Class hosted by Tilly from Builders Brewery. The recording of this practical class can be followed by those who couldn’t attend, or by those who attended but would like to brush up on their newly acquired skills.
