episode: -> NUS Second Life's LIFE. <-
our "Asia.com" class today is a class held inside a virtual online classroom.
(even though majority of the class are actually present in the same computer laboratory in the Arts and Social Sciences faculty)
alrighty, not exactly what you would call a "classroom" i guess, since we are practically teleporting + flying all over the different make-alike real-virtual worlds inside the "NUS Second Life" (as instructed).
classes will be held online, in "NUS Second Life", in the next few weeks to come!
sounds awesome?
teleportation? flying?HAHA! :DDD
gone are the old days where you actually had to walk/run/teleport short distances, even when inside a virtual online world (be it, a 2D/3D online MMORPG game, or what's it what's not).
you can teleport anywhere, anytime, to any destination, or even have your online friends teleport you.
you can fly anytime, anywhere, to any destination, whenever you are tired of having to waste time walking/running.
the "NUS Second Life" gives you such benefits online.. HAHA!
we are given different appearances, outfits, and (even) poses, depending on our character (a.k.a. avatar), and whatever she/he is donned in.
(freebies given to us, by our "NUS Second Life" guide, to help us pick up faster along the way)
a series of screenshots (sent via email straight from "NUS Second Life") should give you a glimpse into the make-believe virtually-real world we are in:
the female avatar in the foreground, dressed in a salsa outfit, is obviously me, needless to say. :PPP
