HOW TO ACCESS THE 3D CAMPUS TO PLAY diversophy®
It may be easier if you download and print out these instructions.
Go directly to STEP 2 if you already have a Second Life account working on your computer.
STEP 1
SETTING UP AN ACCOUNT & PREPARING YOUR COMPUTER (If you do not yet have a  working  Second Life Account)
  • Check the system requirements of your computer or the computer you are using  first  to see if you can load the Second Life software by going to  http://secondlife.com/support/system- requirements/. If you do not meet these  requirements you will have to use a computer that does, perhaps with a friend or  classmate. 
  • If you do not have a Second Life account, please create one by following this link:  https://join.secondlife.com/ . Creating and accessing a Second Life account is  completely free. 
  • Fill in all your data, invent a first name for your avatar, then choose a last name  from  the list offered, then use the tools provided to create how your Second Life  avatar will  look.
  • After creating the account, you will be asked to activate it by clicking on the link in   the confirmation email that you receive. 
  • Next, download Second Life Viewer 1.23 from one of these links:
     Windows | Mac | Linux. Once the download is finished, run the  installation.
     Please have a look at this guide to familiarize yourself with the viewer:
     Viewer 1.23 Quickstart Guide
    Welcome to Second Life! 
  • After successful installation, start the Second Life client and log in using your  Second  Life name and password. Be sure to note these down for future use. You  will arrive in  the Welcome Island which gives you general instructions on how to  use Second Life. 
  • IMPORTANT! Please send your avatar name by email immediately to the  facilitator , once you are wearing the HUD (see instructions below).  You need to do  this to get full access to the quiz and to get credit for the dollars you earn toward  your  grade. 
STEP 2
  • If you have an avatar send your avatar name by email immediately to the  facilitator , once you are wearing the HUD (see instructions  below).  You need to do  this to get full access to the quiz and get credit for dollars you  earn toward your  grade. 
  • Now you are ready to go to the diversophy® 3D Campus, click the link below and  get  teleported directly to Bluepill Island’s Landing Point:  http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bluepill/224/217/95/?title=diversophy%20HUD  
  • Alternatively, you can also search for the bluepill GROUP Island in the Second Life  viewer by following these steps: 
  • Click on the “Map” button. 
  • Type “bluepill” in the empty field. 
  • Click on the “Teleport” button. 
  • This will take you to Bluepill Island’s main Landing Point, where you will see  three panels next to each other: 
                           graphic
                        Go towards the last panel to the right and find the image that says
                       “Campus 3D diversophy. HUD.” Click on it.

  • Next you will arrive in front of the Campus 3D  Station:
                                   graphic
  • If you do not see it, move your avatar around to locate it using your keyboard arrows.
  • Locate the “Get your HUD” button underneath the course buttons  on the station panel (see the image above). Instructions for  attaching the HUD are also posted behind the Campus 3D Station.  To get and wear the HUD, follow these steps:
  • Click on “Get your HUD” and then click on “keep” to the message  that appears.
  • Then walk behind the Campus 3D Station to see images and  instructions for attaching the HUD. You can also follow these steps:
  • Click on your inventory (at the bottom of the page or a suitcase  image on the right of the page if you are using viewer 2), then  locate “Objects” and click on it.
  • Find "diversophy HUD 1.32 beta" and right click on “wear.” It is  important that you wear it.
  • Once you are wearing it, you will get a message welcoming you to  the  HUD.
  • The Welcome Panel will appear to the left of the 3D Station HUD  panel (it may take a few seconds to load, so be patient). When you  see it, you will have access to the demo version first, unless you notify  a facilitator  that you have acquired the HUD. You will get an email  once  you have full access. Now you will  be ready to have a go at the  complete game - simply press on  the  “Start” button at the bottom  of the Welcome Panel, then  choose  United States of America  (USA) from the list and click on  “Do  course.” You will have about  100 questions to answer.
  • NB! To have your HUD working properly, please use viewer 1.32,  not viewer 2. You can download viewer 1.32 by clicking on the  notice next  to the HUD station, opening the link and scrolling down     to the  bottom of the downloads’ page:
                          graphic
Please note the following when playing:
  • Pressing the “STOP” button will terminate your active course. You  will have to start from the beginning.
  • Pressing the “PAUSE” button will pause your active quiz and show  you the Overview Course screen when you resume the quiz.
  • To resume the quiz you paused, simply select "USA" on the  Overview Course screen. You will return to the question where you  paused earlier.
  • You have 150 seconds to answer each question. If your time runs  out, your test will also end,  so remember to press the "PAUSE"  button if you are interrupted or you want to take a break. 
  • Once you have completed an exercise, you will see your final score on the HUD. The system calculates a percentage of correct  answers. If your final percentage is 67%, you’ll earn $67, etc. 
  • Please send your final score with your real name and your avatar  name to a facilitator .
We realize that it is a bit of a trek to get here, but we hope you will enjoy  this virtual experience! During your course you will also have the  opportunity to meet with our online facilitators and take part in events  and discussions that will contribute to your coursework.
