Class 1: Rules of engagement

October 14, 2012

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. Participants will need to study this to inform their contribution to discussion in the class. Tae also asked participants to familiarise themselves with the learning outcomes of the module described on page 3 in the right hand column of this blog.

ACTIVITIES FOR NEXT CLASS:

  1. Complete your SL profile.
  2. Set up your blog using blogspot.com, wordpress.com or any other blogging tool.
  3. Complete the About Me section on your blog by writing about your expectations for this module – what you hope to get out of it, what you think you might contribute, etc, referring to the learning outcomes for the module.
  4. Find and explore three locations in SL.
  5. Post an entry to your blog describing the locations you visited.
  6. Set up a twitter account in your SL avatar’s name (or your real life name), if you don’t already have one and post a link to your blog. Use #iole12 to identify your twitter posts. Follow @johnoconnorDIT, @acuppatae, @iclaudiad, and each other.

New module starts on 11th October 2012

September 21, 2012

A new intake of students will start on the module on Thursday 11th October. They will come from the School of Art, Design & Printing at DIT through the Optional Module Programme for Fine Art, Design, Visual and Critical Studies and also from other parts of the Real World and Second Life through Dublin Virtually Live. If you are not a registered DIT student and would like to take the module please email sitearm (at) gmail (dot) com for application details.

New participants should read through this blog to get a sense of what the module offers and, in particular, read page 8 (see column to the right) titled ‘Getting into Second Life’ to make sure your pc is up to spec. You will also find details on joining Second Life, which you must do before the first class.

All participants must also friend Acuppa Tae and Locks Aichi in Second Life saying that you intend taking the module.

If you are new to Second Life it is a good idea to explore the environment before the module starts. You should be familiar with moving your avatar around, interacting with others and be able to use voice inworld. You will not receive technical tuition on Second Life during class time – it is up to each participant to learn how to live, act and behave in the environment in advance.

Acuppa Tae and Locks Aichi look forward to meeting you next week!
