SofTutor for Second Life

We originally created this in a few days over the summer for ISTE.org (K-20 teachers group) to help them bring more kids into second life to explore the learning capabilities inside of second life. We worked with imohax.com and used some of their content with ours to teach kids and teachers how to go from no experience in second life to an intermediate level (builder) since then we've removed some educational specific content and are allowing non academic users to try this version. It's about 90 min long teaches about 20 topics and contains 145 Quick Search Topics.

We'd like to keep this product free but download bandwidth still has a cost and at about 290mb per download we may need to charge something for it. If you would like to sponsor this or donate to help us keep it free we'd love to have it. Feel free to download it and play around with it, this link may be disabled if we get close to our monthly bandwidth. Please learn more about second life at www.secondlife.com.

If your company has a second life presentence we'd love to customize this product for your employees and customers to highlight your companies SL property.

SofTutor for ASP.net

We made this to help train our developers in house. 98% of the videos are on the internet most are on download.microsoft.com and available on http://asp.net and a few are from amazon.com so what you see is beyond our control but So some of the videos may have low resolution. You'll need a highspeed internet connection to use this product. We'd also encourage you to download microsofts visual studio express products and visit http://www.asp.net to get the corresponding example code files so you do not have to type them in your self. This product contains about 16 titles and over 300 tutorials ranging from 10 - 90 min in length. We originally created this product in Feb 2009 and a lot has changed since then. Let us know what you think about this on our softutor.ning.com users group page and we may update it if the demand is high enough.
