Building 101: The Building Blocks of Second Life

As Second Life continues to be a rich environment to virtually extend the classroom, it is helpful for educators to be able to create custom content. Ball State University is now offering a class entitled, "Building 101: The Building Blocks of Second Life."

Building 101 is an 8-hour intense crash course that will cover all aspects of Beginner and Intermediate building in Second Life, from prim creation and movement to basic use of scripts, sculpties and animations.

This course will be an asset to educators as they not only design their curriculum, but also as they build their classrooms.

Building 101 will be beginning July 11 and continue through August 1, 2009. Class will be held Saturdays, 9 to 11 am Second Life Time (PST). The cost for this course is $149.
