Purpose-built thefrom Neoscratch Officeusing template,Frame VR's tiles, iLRN-Central combinesis organized around two defining structural features drawn from the classical Athenian civic model:

• The Stoa — a colonnaded gallery displaying 28 thematic posters across four walls, each wall facing one of the campus's four directional zones.zones, The Stoa functions as iLRN-Central's primary knowledge surface, offeringproviding every visitor an immediate,immediate and curated view of the network's work, values, and opportunities.

Together, the Agora and the Stoa make iLRN-Central not just a welcome space but a working demonstration of the Open Immersive Learning Society: a place where knowledge is displayed, debated, and shaped by the community in real time.

From iLRN-Central, participants navigate outward to the full campus hub-and-spoke system, including the Knowledge Tree, the Circle of Scholars, the Innovation Garden, iLEAD, the Haptics Café, the XRcade, the Thirsty Scholar, the Immersive Futures Lighthouse, and regional Chapter spaces.

The Agora: Immersive Learning Open Society Forum

The Agora is iLRN-Central's public civic forum — modeled on the Athenian agora as the space where citizens, scholars, and visitors gathered not just to observe but to participate in the life of the community.

In iLRN-Central, the Agora operates on a published schedule of presentations and community conversations hosted by iLRN's Working Groups and Guilds. These are open to all — members and the general public alike — and are designed to make iLRN's ongoing work in standards, research quality, design, and futures accessible beyond the conference itself.

How It Works

Working Groups and Guilds submit Agora sessions for scheduling. Each session follows a consistent structure:

1. Brief presentation by the hosting Working Group or Guild (10–15 minutes)

2. Open floor discussion — questions, contributions, and dialogue with attendees

3. Live voting or input via embedded Tally.so forms displayed in the frame

Tally.so forms are embedded directly in iLRN-Central and serve as the participation mechanism: attendees can register positions, submit structured input, vote on proposals, or contribute to working documents in real time during Agora sessions. Form responses feed back into the relevant Working Group's Codex pages and governance records.

Agora Hosts

Any chartered iLRN Working Group or iLRN member in good standing may host Agora sessions. This openness is deliberate: the Agora is not a curated stage for designated experts but a civic forum where any member of the community can bring work, questions, or proposals before the network.

Chartered Working Groups are standing Agora hosts by default. Current Working Groups include:

Individual members hosting sessions are encouraged to connect their session to a relevant Working Group, chapter, or Codex thread — both to root the conversation in existing infrastructure and to ensure outputs are captured and acted upon.

Agora and the Open Society

The Agora is a structural expression of iLRN's organizational calling: Open the World. Open the Mind. Join the Open Immersive Learning Society.

Embedding voting forms in a public virtual space transforms the Agora from a presentation venue into a governance and co-creation mechanism. Community input collected here is not advisory decoration — it is routed into Working Group records, informs Codex updates, and feeds the standards and quality frameworks iLRN publishes and maintains.

The Agora is publicly accessible and operates on a rolling schedule year-round, not only during iLRN2026.
