Jess’ E-Learning Blog

I’m just going through the orientation to Second Life, which I’m planning to evaluate in terms of its e-learning experience. Flying is interesting on my laptop; the page up and page down buttons control vertical movement. I have to hold down the Fn button to access my page up and down buttons. The problem occurs when I hold down the Fn button and then the up or down arrows … and wonder why my screen is suddenly really bright or really dark!!! Because the page up and down buttons aren’t on the up or down arrow buttons (where I think it would make more sense) – the screen brightness is! ^_^

Another negative aspect I am noticing is that my download speed doesn’t seem to be fast enough. My visual is coming in images, rather than a flow of movement, which made it hard for me to control my flying and driving in the movement tutorial.
