Building eLearning Avatars

Second Life Avatars can be imported into an eLearning course with a little creativity. In this demonstration, Terrence Wing created a green screen background in Second Life and screen captured the animation of his Avatar. He then used the chroma key effect in vegas to create a background and import the finished media into a Articulate Course. Second Life makes exceptional Avatars that are 3 dimensional, and can easily be personalized. These Avatars look far superior to common Avatar builders that are designed specifically for eLearning courses. The biggest advantage beyond the superior look of a Second Life Avatar is that it is free.

Great point mdiapro. Licensing is an important consideration every time you use third party applications. Great advice.

Be careful when using online services. Content, artifacts, and other proprietary rights apply online, just as they do if you were taking a photocopy of someone else's works from a book. READ the license agreenment.
