University of Illinois virtual librarianship course starts again today. This time the 'intermediate' level. Knowing I hadn't been into Second Life for a bit meant I started early to download the software (as ever), get it installed, make sure I could login in etc. Then I met a former colleague who took me on a shopping expedition - so I'm now the proud possessor of a top hat and tuxedo which I think makes for elegant outdoor class attendance! (The bunny pyjamas and big fluffy slippers were fun but possibly too much of a statement.)

Unfortuanately, with that and some other movement around the place I found my motion sickness was back (perhaps exacerbated by tiredness) but fortunately the class was pretty static so I could sit still, and try and keep up with three or four conversations at the back of the class. (Two former colleagues were chatting and two class members I didn't know from real life).

My resolution for this time round though is to make more time to use and interact with the associated virtual learning environment. Assuming I can login which was part of the problem last time.
