My first Second Life training

This is a very brief post, just to share a great experience I had this evening following a training course at the Academy of Second Learning, at Eson (47/157/351).

We created a sphere with some very nice eyes on it, and the sphere really bounced! Things I noticed:

  • how much functionality is actually hidden in the SL interface
  • how nice and easy it is to follow such a hands-on-course
  • you can follow each others questions to the teacher via the chat history and even look back.
  • how objects get transferred from the teacher to the student (this time it was textures and some scripts)

There are a lot of these course every day. Check out: edit/search -> events and select “education”.
