Meine Kurse bei der vhs Goslar

Hier einige neu geplante Kurse bei der vhs Goslar in Second Life:

Businesstalk – Geld verdienen in SL (Donnerstag 10.12 um 19:30 Uhr)

Wer träumt nicht davon, mit seinem Avatar in SL auch Geld zu verdienen. Second Life bietet sich geradezu an, das eigene Geschäft im Kleinen auszuprobieren, ohne viel “echtes” Geld zu riskieren.

Soundeffekte mit Audacity erzeugen (Donnerstag 17.12 um 19:30 Uhr)

Wer hätte sie nicht gerne, die coolen Soundeffekte für SL-Objekte oder für den eigenen Podcast? Spezielle Effekte zu erzeugen ist gar nicht so schwer und man kann dazu das kostenlose Programm Audacity benutzen.

Die Kurse sind kostenlos und finden in SL-Voice statt.
