SL Update

By this point (6:30 pm EST, 3:30pm SLT, Saturday, Sept 15, 2007), I think I've now 'friended,' added to IPL SL group membership, and dropped 'Second Life Libraries' landmarks on 14 students from the LIS 5916 class (or else directly teleported them out of Orientation Island to the great wide world beyond.) Probably about half that number need to log back in to Second Life to accept their IPL memberships and SL Library landmarks, which can be used to teleport to Info Island.

I put up a Powerpoint on "SL Basics" in the class site that should be useful for students, also a discussion board thread on SL basics (read it all, it's good for you) and another thread on events in SL that may be of interest. I figured students might be active in SL today but as I'm on deadline for getting a research proposal written and submitted today, I'm jumping in and out of SL every couple or few hours. Right, and so back to this research proposal. Let's just hope they interpret deadlines the way I do, midnight on the day of. :)
