The
international symposium will be arranged as an online
event. Targeted is an online discussion in December
2008 in the grid of the online-world Second
Life.
To
realize this, every participant needs a minimum of soft-
and hardware requirements on his home computer equipment. It follows
a description of a possible hardware configuration, which is relatively un-expensive
(about € 200.-) and running very smooth:
Download
and installation of the free Second Life-Software and some days preparation
in the newcomer area to know the most important functions like building an avatar,
moving around, teleporting, using the sound equipment etc. Second life has an
enormous educational potential and is insofar a very interesting platform to
become familiar with. For a one-hour-discussion symposium generally the time
differences have to be considered too.
Persons,
who are interested to get a fully equipped system like this, but have not the
possibility to build it themselves can contact me under igdskdv(ad)yahoo.com.
