Produced by Dr. Richard Gilbert, Professor of Psychology at Loyola Marymount University, this machinima provides an overview of Loyola Marymount Virtual University (LMVU) - - LMU's growing campus in the virtual world of Second Life.

Featuring Psychology Island, the virtual home to Dr. Gilbert's P.R.O.S.E (Psychological Research on Synthetic Environments) Project, Language Island, Engineering Island, and Computer Science Island, the 3D campus marks what Dr. Gilbert and his colleagues expect to be just the beginning of LMU's presence in a virtual platform that is well suited for conducting immersive education and research projects.

LMU's virtual faculty hope that you enjoy this animated video, created as a mixed media project using footage shot in both Second Life and on the university's 'real world' campus located in Los Angeles, CA.

  • Teach evaluation skills, the facts will take care of themselves
  • Teach effective search.  Let Google remember the facts for you.
  • Don't just know. Understand.

2013 HELP: Windows 7 -- 64 bit -- Second Life -- No problems

Windows 7 -- 64 bit -- Second Life -- No problems
-
-
I pointed out earlier that the system requirements given on the Second Life website do not include Windows 7 and could give the impression that Second Life will not run on Windows 7. 

Windows 7 and that first hour experience in Second Life

------------------------------------
Torley Linden, in a comment to that article, said that Second Life does support Windows 7 (32).

Torley Linden comments on Windows 7 support

-
That settled, I have been investigating the question of how well Windows 7 (64) runs Second Life. It installed and runs for me  (Ultimate edition) with no problems.  I have now heard of at least 6 other instances of people installing and running Windows 7 (64) of various editions. 
-
I see that my system has two program directories, one called Program Files (x86) and the other called just Program Files. My Second Life run files are in the (x86) directory, as are most of the other legacy programs I have installed. My guess is that this directory is for programs that need to run in a 32 bit mode and that Win 7 usually detects that condition and installs in the correct directory.   
-
I have heard of problems with other software (Icecast) under Win 7/64.  Here are general instructions for handling such problems via the compatibility wizard included in Win 7:
Windows 7 compatibility: Solving Hardware, software issues
-

"Compatibility Mode 
If you do run into an application that won't work properly in Windows 7, first try to run it within a special emulation mode called compatibility mode. This enables you to trick the application into thinking it is running on an older version of Windows. There are two ways to trigger this functionality: automatically via a wizard, or manually via the Explorer shell. There's also a third related function, the Program Compatibility Assistant, which appears automatically when Windows 7 detects you're having a problem installing or using an application."

2013 HELP: Torley Linden comments on Windows 7 support

Torley commented on my recent blog:
-
Windows 7 and that first hour experience in Second Life
-
I complained there about the system requirements given to newcomers when they consider installing Second Life.  These requirements make no mention of Windows 7 and give the impression that you cannot run Second Life on Windows 7.
