Second Life checklist

Before the session in Second Life with Tim Johnson, you will need to create your avatar and have entered Second Life, to familiarise yourselves with this virtual environment and your avatars - also known as 'avi's'.


By Monday 20th February, you will need to have:

• Registered your SecondLife name: (Please consider what personality you want your avatar to have before doing this) https://join.secondlife.com 

• Emailed your avatar name to r.gamble@worc.ac.uk and k.johnson@worc.ac.uk

• Downloaded Second Life viewer on to your computer: http://www.phoenixviewer.com/downloads.php 

• Entered and explored SecondLife at least once.

• Accept or request the friendship request of Bluesky Larkam and Mariela Eyre.

• Accept the ‘teleport’ offer to the University of Worcester island (sent by Bluesky)

• Finally you will need to make this island you ‘home.

If you experience any problems, please email Tim.
