This site serves two functions:
- as documentation of the day-by-day progress of this feasibility study (mostly in the ‘Posts‘)
- as a guide to Second Life, and a structured directory of useful resources, for staff of the Faculty of CISM (the ‘Pages‘)
The site is divided into sections, as follows:
- About this site (i.e. this page)
- Help (short help files, with pointers to useful third-party documents, relating to the SL environment in general and to productivity in SL in particular), beginning with Getting started, the very basic information you’ll need to make your debut in Second Life
- Resources (classified directory of useful web links)
- The Project, documenting the evolution of the Second Life e-learning project at Kingston University
- The Student View, general guidance for students using Second Life as part of their programme of learning
- Tutorials, of which there will only ever be a few, documenting a subset of the things I’ve myself learned to do in SL
The most comprehensive video introduction to SL that I know of, though way out of date (from days boasting a membership of 150,000 rather than today’s nearly 8 million), is on Google Video:
