As mentioned above, SL allows video to be brought in-world, and there will be several locations on our parcel at Really Engaging Accounting set up for you to view the lectures. You will be able to view any lecture from any chapter at any of the three viewing stations set up in Second Life. In order to view the lectures in Second Life you will need to have [|Quicktime] installed on your computer. Some of the concepts in this course can be difficult to visualize. SL allows us the opportunity to create 3-D models of some of these concepts, and you will have the ability to interact with these to deepen your understanding of the concepts. Currently you will have the ability to interact with a 3-D interactive accounting equation (Assets Liabilities + Equity) and to play in a single-player interactive T-account game (and who said accounting can't be fun). If you're struggling with a concept and feel it might help to visualize it let me know and I'll try to create something (or if your so inclined you can create it yourself to share with the class, if you do there might be extra-credit points coming your way).
 * __Watch Lectures__
 * __Interact with Accounting Models__

What else are can you do in Second Life?
 * Meet in groups to discuss accounting
 * The best way to learn accounting, well pretty much anything, is in a social context. The classroom has traditionnaly served as the social setting, but in todays world this is no longer the only place to meet. I have created Second Life spaces for you to have a place to meet other students to discuss, question, and answer accounting related issues. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF STUDY GROUP OPPORTUNITIES!
 * Meet with me to discuss accounting
 * I will have virtual office hours throughout the semester, so if its hard to come to campus you need only log into SL meet with me.
