First Stop: Ivory Tower Library of Primitives on Natoma (210, 164, 27). This library of primitive learning boasts four floors full of tutorials which describe methods for modifying prims and procedures on how to create objects.

The first floor covers the basics, which are mostly a review of the information found on Help Island.

Green arrow transporters whisk you up to upper floors for more advanced techniques and tutorials.

Most of the tutorials use step-by-step instructions to teach a particular skill.

As I am more of a kinetic learner, the hands-on visual approach appeals to me.

Notice the house and chair tutorials, with descriptive instructions in hover text.

When finished with the Ivory Tower, wander over to TUI at Technical User Interfacing (104, 205, 23).

Classes are offered every 30-60 minutes, with an Assistant Dean serving as receptionist during office hours.

Then visit the Academy of Second Learning on Eson (32, 162, 351).

They have five classrooms setup to teach basic Second Life skills.

Offering classes on various topics including Texturing, Scripting, etc.

Finally, check out The Second College of Learning at Atlas (163, 184, 37).

They claim to offer Free Classes, but are looking for instructors.

And building instruction at the "Learning Lighthouse" costs $.

If you stop by Atlas, don't forget to bring your swimsuit for a ride down the water slide.

While you may certainly linger in the Ivory Tower and other bastions of learning, at some point you might want to find a quiet sandbox to build something creative with your newly acquired skills: Building Step3: Sandboxes
