Second Life Mentor Coaches are experienced residents that have a wealth of knowledge. In order for this Mentor group role to reach out and help more residents, Coaches can now offer classes to residents. This is not unlike Instructor classes of yore and does not come with privilege beyond what is offered to residents who host events; however, now you can represent the Mentor group as you host classes on the mainland!

Guidelines

  • Classes should be scheduled as an Event in the Education category. For information on posting Events, please see this link.
  • Please feel free to introduce yourself as a Second Life Mentor for these events! This is a great way to show the community our collective contributions.
  • Please make sure your activated group tag is one of the official Second Life Mentor tags while hosting the event.
  • As with any Mentor related activity, the Tao of Volunteers, TOS and Community Standards apply.
  • Classes hosted by Mentors implies no direct endorsement from Linden Lab. You should be sure to mention at the start of your event that your opinions and methodology are not necessarily endorsed by Linden Lab as well.
  • Classes must be PG.
  • Classes should not offer any L$ incentives or prizes. Likewise, classes must be free, and free of advertisements, please!
  • Any dispute arising from Second Life Mentor Coach led classes needs to be handled through resident-to-resident resolution or Abuse Reports as needed or the support area of the website. VTeam will not be able to respond to issues of abuse at these events. In some cases this may pose a challenge; please teach at your discretion, and when you are in good spirits!

Post-Scheduling

  • Please list the class as an event at the Second Life web site. If there is a scheduling conflict where one space is being shared by two Mentors and you figure this out late in the game, please work among yourselves to decide at the time of the class who will utilize a different stage. The Mentor who does not switch stages should let attendees know that another event is taking place elsewhere due to a scheduling error, and provide the location. This probably will not be common, but do aim to resolve this carefully yourselves!
