[OPLINTECH] Still spaces available! FREE online Second Life courses from OPLIN

[Laura Solomon]

/Did you know?  Gartner Group has predicted that 80% of all internet 
users will belong to a virtual world 
<http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=503861> by next year (2011). /

OPLIN is helping to prepare Ohio public librarians by offering FREE 
courses about Second Life, the world's largest virtual environment. 
These courses are held in Second Life and offer library staff members 
hands-on, guided experiences in maneuvering and interacting in a virtual 
space.  Courses range from introductory courses to virtual 
communication, building and other skills.  There are many real-life 
libraries that maintain a presence in Second Life, and we also offer a 
tour to highlight some of these.
