SofTutor for Second Life Academic (Beginner to Builder in minutes)

We originally created this product in 6/09 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 22 topics and contains 145 Quick Search Topics.

If your school has a second life presentence we'd love to customize this product for your staff and students to highlight your schools SL property.
