Presentation Title: Orientation in Second Life
Presentation Description: New users of virtual worlds can find the interfaces and controls of 3D platforms difficult and confusing. Currently in Second life new users initially find their avatars in a space for orientation with other new users and possibly with helpers and guides to assist them. This video looks at different approaches to the design of these areas.

Apologies this post was delayed in going live this morning! This was a scheduling glitch on our WordPress blog.
See my blog post on today’s date (13DEC) to see what actions I took after watching this video. Thanks to all the presenters and to K12 Online! Happy Holidays!
Thank you Kay, I checked out your blog. Very illuminating. I am glad that what we have done has stimulated you to have your own new user experience. I am thrilled to see that the video was so insightful to see that you could manage to do much of it by yourself. Thank you for your feedback. Debs Butler
