Finding the Right Place
The Real Business 101 program occupies the entire 5th floor of the Business & Economics building (located in the northwest corner of the virtual campus). Signs located near the central teleport platform point arrivals in the right direction. So when you arrive at the campus, locate the Business & Economics building, enter the mezzanine, and use the teleport button for the 5th floor. Site Development Status The virtual campus and, particularly, the Real Business 101 program is still under development. Learners can use this development time to acquaint themselves with the techniques and cultures of Second Life. |
Hello. I am DaveH Heberle, director of the virtual Free-Ed.Net campus in Real Life™. I am also an avatar who lives, works, and plays in this fantastic, 3-dimensional world. Let's cut to the chase about this online "game" called Second Life. Is it really a game? Does 4th quarter 08 reports of over $100-million USD in player-to-player business transactions sound like a "game?" Of course not — not for anyone with a modicum of entrepreneurial spirit. It's not a game, it's an opportunity! There is much more to this program we are calling Real Business 101 than another round of study guides, books, and exams. Those standard components are important to your success, but you are also expected to engage in the founding of a new business in Second Life. What good is bookwork if you can't actually make a business happen? This program is your litmus test. If you can grow a successful business in Second Life, you can do it in real life, too. And if you find you cannot make a business work in Second life, I'm willing to bet you will have the same problems in real life. But I won't take up any more of your time with my introductory prattle. Go to the FAQ to learn more about the details of this program. Oh, there is one more thing: Welcome to an engaging example of education for the 21st century!

An
Introductory Note From the Director
No one in no way can
guarantee you success in your business venture. No one
can promise you won't lose money. Your school, your mentors,
your associates can help a lot. They can point the way, provide
valuable insights, give a lot of good (and bad) advice, and loan
you money. In the end, however, it's all up to you ... only you.
And some good luck. to open a free membership){kind=link}
