optional "getting started" orientation to Second Life immediately following the tour. The entire orientation session will be completed within an hour.
To login, find the session you wish to attend in the conference "Schedule." Click on the Schedule link in the left column after entering the conference web site. Then follow the login instructions found there for the
session you wish to attend.
NOTE: You may be prompted to download the Java Web Start application if this is your first time in the Elluminate Live virtual classroom. We recommend logging in about 20-30 minutes early your first time. You will need
SPEAKERS or HEADPHONES; a MICROPHONE is highly recommended, but not required.
