You may also be approached to participate in research concerning this. Participation in said research will not effect your grades in these tasks. I will not be aware of who has or has not participated in the research.

You are strongly advised to enter factual information when signing up for a SL account (e.g. Age, etc), not only is it easier to remember if you need to recover a lost password, but it is also part of the SecondLife TOS ('Terms of Service') which are listed in detail at the website below.

* Enter your date of birth and email (use your RMIT student email address).
* Enter a 'challenge & Response' question & answer.
* Select a 'FREE' account'.
Use your RMIT email to send your avatar name to your lecturer, this is an important step as access to the land the Polyclinic is on needs to be manually granted. Use this time to familiarise yourself with SecondLife.
There are user guides ‘in world’ or on the DLS

Where to go in Second life.
• Use this link (called a SLURL (secondlife URL) ) to get to the RMIT clinic site by copy and paste in to the address bar of the Second life viewer.
Or Search for RMIT SEH 2

• Now… follow along that tunnel watching the tutorials as you go.• You need only stand in front of the screen or sit on the beanbags to
watch the tutorial
• There is an icon below the screen which links to a website that contains the tutorials as well if you prefer. But the more you can “muck around” now and get used to moving and interacting the better.
• When you have reached the end of the tunnel, email me your exact Avatar name. When your name has been processed you will be sent an invite. THEN you can enter the clinic area.

Hints and tips
• 'Camtasia' is a fully functional 30 day demo that records local as well as remote audio and is available for Mac and Windows (can save as iPhone small file format) http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia/
• HandBrake can help you compress big video files down to a small “iPhone” format http://handbrake.fr/?article=download
• If you can’t run the capture software on your machine, fear not! Only one of you has to really be able to capture and then they can email you the vid afterwards
