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.

Intense instruction in class and in-world assistance are available if students need help with their homework projects.

This will be an instructor-directed crash course, featuring a lecture portion, instructor-directed hands-on building and individual attention. Students will graduate with the knowledge they need to build projects on their own. Your instructor for this course will be Lowri Mills.
