ATTRIBUTIONS

This curriculum is adapted from Global Kids’ Second Life curriculum, originally released in 2008 and previously hosted on RezEd.org and at http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/holymeatballs, with thanks to Joyce Bettencourt and Barry Joseph who started the project. Modifications and adaptations were made in the “GKCx” update by Jeremy Kemp and Stephen Kemp, released in 2011 at http://www.simteach.com/gkcx under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License. Both sites are no longer available on the web. Some sections were also modified or written in whole or in part by the University of Cincinnati Center for Simulations & Virtual Environments Research (UCSIM), https://ucsim.uc.edu/. The introduction to scripting chapter was written by Jeffrey Steele (Ryon Bloobury). Further modifications and expanded content to the Primland curriculum have been made by AvaCon. Inc (https://avacon.org), in an effort to keep this resource up to date. The Intro to Building Tutorial Video Series referenced was created by Michael Bailey (Marcus Llewellyn).

------------MORE--------------
When creating OARs please do not use items that are currently being sold at Second Life Marketplace or Kitely Market.
It defeats the creator’s purpose which is trying to sell their merchandise.
Please try to identify the sources and licenses of mesh or other items and give them credit.

Scripts: Please check to make sure they are working before submitting the OAR.
Check Top Scripts and try to minimize the number and run-time of scripts. 
If you have any script with just a state_entry, just delete the script.
The reason is it only runs once, and then takes up a substantial chunk of memory from then on.   

DMCA POLICY: 

If you are the creator of an item and do not want it to be distributed, please contact the creator of the OAR and their Grid owner, and send a DMCA notice to them.
You may copy the Outworldz registrar which you can find at the U.S. Copyright office at https://dmca.copyright.gov/osp/
