# Part III — iLRN2026 Virtual Campus Frame-by-Frame # iLRN Central — Main Hub ### iLRN\_Central (Agora Welcome Center)[![IMG_4679.png](https://codex.immersivelrn.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-04/scaled-1680-/goDdi7YMDwAuNBAp-img-4679.png)](https://codex.immersivelrn.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-04/goDdi7YMDwAuNBAp-img-4679.png) #### *0. Build Governance Rules*

Every asset must either:

help users understand where they are

help users understand where to go

help users understand why this space matters

If it does none of these, it should be removed. -

Navigation must be resolvable within 10 seconds of entry

No critical function depends on a single modality (e.g., color-only signage)

All Frames must connect back to iLRN\_Central in ≤ 2 steps

#### 1. Frame Overview Frame Name: **iLRN\_Central** (Agora Welcome Center) Associated Program Area(s): - Main Stage - Orientation / Wayfinding Hub - Cross-program campus gateway (Academic, iLEAD, Futures, Community) Primary Purpose: A lightweight, low-polygon Agora that serves as the central orientation, navigation, and gathering space for iLRN2026. It anchors the entire virtual campus by providing immediate clarity on where to go, what is happening, and how to engage across the conference ecosystem. - Codex Page URL: [https://codex.immersivelrn.org/books/online-hosts-ilrn2026-private/page/ilrn-central-main-hub](https://codex.immersivelrn.org/books/online-hosts-ilrn2026-private/page/ilrn-central-main-hub) -

- Linked Frames: - Knowledge Tree Branch Houses (all) - Student Center - Thirsty Scholar Debate Hall - Guided Virtual Adventures HQ - Special Track / Showcase Frames Secondary Functions: - Informal gathering and discussion - Lightweight event hosting (announcements, transitions) - Visual index of the field and conference activity For Target Audiences: - All attendees (primary) - Presenters - Volunteers - Organizing Committee - First-time visitors Operational Mode: - ☑ Online-only (June 14–15) - ☑ Hybrid (Online + Athens) 2\. Ownership & Stewardship Frame Owner (Accountable): Jonathon Richter (CEO/President, iLRN) Co-Steward(s): - Virtual Campus Architect & Community Lead - Technical Lead (Frame VR) - Volunteer Coordinator (Operations) Decision Authority: Design and navigation: Virtual Campus Architect Operations and scheduling: Conference Program Chairs Technical issues: CTO / Tech Lead Escalation Path: Greeter/Volunteer → Tech Support Lead → CTO → CEO (if structural) 3\. Design & Experience Intent Experience Goal: Participants should immediately understand (within seconds) where they are, what pathways exist, and how to enter the intellectual and social life of the conference. The space should feel open, legible, and active—more like a civic forum than a building. Design Constraints: - Ultra low-polygon environment (performance-first) - Minimal textures; repeated modular assets - Clear sightlines across the entire Agora - No enclosed or maze-like structures - Poster-based navigation (not kiosks) Key Interaction Patterns: - Arrival / Orientation: Users spawn at the center axis facing the amphitheater and main stage. An orientation poster kiosk shall be very nearby with wayfinding (e.g. welcome, map, quadrants by color: The four cardinal zones are immediately visible: - Explore the Field (back wall) - What’s Happening (front) - Join the Conversation (left) - See the Work (right) - Primary Activity: Users move to one of four walls, each containing eight clickable poster-panels. These act as gateways into the broader ecosystem (Frames, sessions, Codex-linked content). - Central Interaction: The amphitheater supports live or ambient gathering, with a stage and screen for announcements or featured content. - Exit / Transition: Users select a poster (gateway) → transition to a target Frame → can return to iLRN\_Central within ≤ 2 steps. - GoTo menus have legible links to each Frame across the virtual campus Athens Reuse or Extension: Functions as the conceptual “digital Agora” complement to physical gathering spaces in Athens. Can be mirrored through signage, program structure, and session clustering. Opinion: This redesign corrects the prior failure mode: overbuilt architecture that obscured purpose. The Agora now behaves as an index, not a destination. 4\. Wayfinding & Navigation Entry Points: - Default spawn location (center axis) - Direct links from schedule (CVENT) - Guided tours and onboarding flows Internal Wayfinding Elements: - Four labeled zones (large-scale text): - Explore the Field - What’s Happening - Join the Conversation - See the Work - Eight poster-panels per zone (32 total): - Each is a clear, clickable gateway - Central amphitheater (visual anchor) - Perimeter column rhythm (subtle spatial boundary cue) Exit Paths: - Poster → linked Frame - Return links from all Frames → iLRN\_Central - Guided navigation (optional) Wayfinding Owner: Virtual Campus Architect 5\. Accessibility & Inclusion Checklist Accessibility Lead: (Insert) Baseline Commitments: - ☑ Clear signage and readable contrast - ☑ Audio redundancy (voice + visual cues) - ☑ Spatial simplicity (single open layout) - ☑ Alternative participation pathway documented (Codex + Zoom) Known Constraints or Risks: - Poster density (32 total) may overwhelm without strong visual hierarchy - Reliance on spatial navigation may disadvantage first-time XR users Athens Considerations: - Align signage language with physical program categories - Ensure consistency in terminology across modalities 6\.

iLRN Central is the front door of the iLRN virtual campus. It is the first place most participants will land, the space that sets the tone for the entire conference, and the orientation layer that makes every other Frame navigable. This location acts as an active commons. Every design decision here must serve three functions simultaneously: orient newcomers, connect experienced participants to what they are looking for, and embody the Open Society theme of iLRN2026.

#### 5A iLRN Network Membership Quadrant — Civic Offices ##### **Function within iLRN Central** The iLRN Network Membership Quadrant is a participation and intake district within iLRN Central. It replaces the former Circle of Scholars quadrant and serves as the main civic interface for joining, identifying, routing, and contributing within the iLRN network. This quadrant should not read as a decorative conceptual area. It is an operational zone that helps convert visitors into known participants, members, contributors, partners, volunteers, and chapter contacts. **This quadrant must support both:** - conference-period onboarding, especially for attendees entering the professional layer of the campus, and - year-round network participation, including public visitors, prospective partners, and future contributors. Its purpose is to give users a clear answer to the question: How do I formally connect to iLRN from here? ##### **Design Requirement** All twelve offices in this quadrant must be immediately understandable as distinct participation pathways. Users should be able to identify the correct office within a few seconds based on plain-language naming, visible signage, and a short one-sentence purpose statement. This quadrant must not require prior knowledge of iLRN’s organizational structure in order to be usable. ##### **Core Build Logic** Each office in the quadrant should do at least one of the following: - identify who a person is in relation to the network - route them to the correct next layer of participation - capture structured interest for follow-up - open an ongoing relationship with iLRN Where possible, forms should be short, role-based, and use branching logic instead of forcing everyone through the same intake sequence. --- ## **iLRN-Central Civic Offices Directory** --- ### **1. Membership Application Office \*Campus Link** #### [**https://framevr.io/ilrn-central#office-membership-applications**](https://framevr.io/ilrn-central#office-membership-applications) [![Membership.png](https://codex.immersivelrn.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-04/scaled-1680-/FREFnVkxOyYZFIVb-membership.png)](https://codex.immersivelrn.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-04/FREFnVkxOyYZFIVb-membership.png) Primary intake point for people formally joining or identifying themselves within the network. This office should distinguish among conference participants, public visitors, students, educators, researchers, and other participant types so that downstream records and access pathways can be updated accordingly. LINK:[ MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION FORM](https://tally.so/r/lb7NEv) *Outputs*: member profile record, access tier clarification, role-based follow-up. --- ### **2. Campus Visitor Registry \* Campus Link [https://framevr.io/ilrn-central#office02-campus-visitors](https://framevr.io/ilrn-central#office02-campus-visitors)** [![Guest Registry.png](https://codex.immersivelrn.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-04/scaled-1680-/ob2jO3U7H3PMDk6W-guest-registry.png)](https://codex.immersivelrn.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-04/ob2jO3U7H3PMDk6W-guest-registry.png) A lightweight visitor sign-in office for people who are exploring the campus but are not yet joining as members. This should function like a guest book with optional identification, allowing iLRN to thank visitors, understand traffic, and create a minimal visitor record. LINK: [CAMPUS VISITOR REGISTRY FORM](https://tally.so/r/ob7APx) *Outputs*: visitor record, follow-up thank-you, possible later invitation into membership pathways. --- ### **3. Newsletter Subscription & Contribution Office \*Campus Link** ### [**https://framevr.io/ilrn-central#office-subscribe-and-contribute**](https://framevr.io/ilrn-central#office-subscribe-and-contribute) [![newsletter & contributions.png](https://codex.immersivelrn.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-04/scaled-1680-/tXXl49fHAxbY2cFf-newsletter-contributions.png)](https://codex.immersivelrn.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-04/tXXl49fHAxbY2cFf-newsletter-contributions.png) Subscription and editorial-interest intake for the newsletter. This office should allow users to subscribe, confirm preferred content streams, and indicate whether they would like to contribute material such as articles, interviews, field reports, or resource recommendations. LINK: [SUBSCRIBE and CONTRIBUTE TO OUR iLRN NEWSLETTER FORM](https://tally.so/r/Zjzd0z) Outputs: segmented newsletter preferences, contributor interest record, editorial follow-up. --- #### **4. Partner Development Inquiry Office** Professional intake point for institutional engagement. This office is for organizations or representatives interested in collaboration, sponsorship, partnership, standards participation, or broader institutional membership. Outputs: qualified partner lead, partnership inquiry record, routing to leadership or business development follow-up. --- #### **5. Volunteer & Contributor Interest Office** Participation intake for people willing to give time, labor, coordination, facilitation, technical support, or domain expertise. This office should make visible the different kinds of service pathways across conference operations, virtual campus support, community activities, and longer-term network work. Outputs: volunteer record, skill matching data, routing to appropriate teams. --- #### **6. Community Channels Connection Office** Routing point for ongoing participation in community spaces. This office helps people identify and opt into the relevant communication and community channels across Discord, Invision Community, special interest groups, and design-based research or topic-specific spaces. Outputs: channel preference data, targeted outreach capability, stronger community routing. --- #### **7. Regional Capacity & Community of Practice Affiliation Office** Geographic and chapter-related intake. This office helps users identify existing regional or national communities of practice and also captures interest from people who may want to help start a new chapter where none exists. Outputs: chapter match, regional interest record, chapter formation lead if relevant. --- #### **8. Codex Contribution Office** Entry point for crossing from reader to contributor within the Codex. This office should explain the Codex as living knowledge infrastructure and provide a pathway for contributing resources, reflections, case material, or structured entries. Outputs: Codex contributor lead, knowledge contribution intake, orientation to BookStack/Codex use. --- #### **9. Standards Initiative Stakeholder Office** Intake point for stakeholders interested in standards and competency work. This includes educators, researchers, institutions, and practitioners who want to participate in standards-related discussions, pilots, frameworks, or allied competency-building efforts. Outputs: standards stakeholder record, working group prospects, follow-up for standards initiatives. --- #### **10. Events & Programming Participation Office** Office for people who want to engage through scheduled activities such as webinars, book clubs, debates, workshops, community sessions, or future event programming. This office captures programming interest apart from general membership. Outputs: event participation interest record, future programming lists, cohort development. --- #### **11. Innovation & Project Incubation Office** Office for people who want to propose, join, or support emerging projects. This may include research collaborations, pilot programs, practice showcases, design experiments, or work connected to the Innovation Garden and related initiatives. Outputs: project idea intake, collaborator matchmaking, incubation pipeline. --- #### **12. Sponsorship & Funding Interest Office** Office for organizations or individuals interested in supporting iLRN financially through sponsorship, funding partnerships, donations, or aligned support mechanisms. This should be framed professionally and distinctly from general partnership inquiries. Outputs: funding lead, sponsorship inquiry, development follow-up. ### Pass Thresholds — Membership Quadrant #### Criterion / Pass Threshold - A clearly labeled entrance or directory for the Network Membership Quadrant is visible from the main hub circulation area - Quadrant identifier visible without entering a side corridor or secondary chamber - All 12 civic offices are named in plain language and include a one-sentence descriptor - No office title depends on insider terminology alone - At least the first 7 priority offices are live by launch Membership, Visitor Registry, Newsletter, Partner Development, Volunteer, \_\_\_, \_\_\_ offices confirmed functional - Each active office contains a working form or link object - No dead-end office spaces - Every office includes a visible “What happens next?” statement - User can tell whether they will receive follow-up, gain access, or be routed elsewhere

Membership Application Office distinguishes member type or user role

- Branching logic or equivalent field tested - Visitor Registry remains lighter-weight than membership application - Visitor pathway takes materially less time to complete - Partner Development and Sponsorship/Funding offices are clearly differentiated - Institutional relationship inquiries do not collapse into generic contact capture - Regional Capacity office links to existing chapter information and chapter formation guide - Chapter pathway live and tested > Codex Contribution office explains what the Codex is for newcomers - Explanation readable in-Frame and linked externally if needed - Standards Initiative office is framed in professional language suitable for external stakeholders - Reviewed for clarity and tone > **All office links are accessible outside the Frame as fallback pathways & reflected on our website** Critical participation does not fail if Frame navigation fails

Wayfinding Requirements for This Quadrant

- The quadrant must be signposted from the main iLRN Central entry area. - It must be possible to understand the difference between: - joining the network, - visiting the campus, - subscribing to communications, - volunteering, - institutional partnership, - chapter affiliation, - contributing to the Codex, - participating in standards work. - If the twelve-office structure produces clutter, the first layer should be a directory board that routes users into grouped pathways such as: - Join - Visit - Contribute - Partner - Organize Regionally - Build Knowledge - Support / Fund Such grouping may be spatial, textual, or both, but the underlying office distinctions should still remain clear.

Accessibility Requirements for This Quadrant

- No office may be identifiable by color alone. - Every office must have readable text labeling. - Essential participation pathways must be reachable from a stationary avatar position through boards or linked objects. - All forms must have a web-accessible fallback link. - Language should be welcoming and legible to newcomers, not written as internal administrative shorthand.

Operational Notes

This quadrant will only be valuable if each office is tied to an actual response workflow. A live form without clear downstream ownership will produce dead records instead of network activity. Each office should therefore have: - a responsible owner, - a follow-up destination, - and a defined response expectation. At minimum, ownership for each office should be tracked in an internal operations table even if that table does not appear in the public-facing version of the hub page. **6 Planned Activities & Events**

**Frame Purpose**

A structured dialogue and discussion space for the iLRN scholarly community. The Circle of Scholars supports facilitated conversations, working group sessions, and the ongoing Book Club programme. It is designed for focused intellectual exchange rather than casual socialising.

Frame type context: Community Space (Functional/Programmatic) — clear focal point, seating/gathering logic, minimal distractions. Different from social spaces: this is structured, not informal.

**2 Learning Design Requirements*** — + UDL 3.0*

: Transactional learning — involving participants in the learning process through interaction and exchange — is the core purpose of this space. Design must actively support that exchange, not merely provide a room for it.

UDL: Structured dialogue must support multiple means of Action & Expression: not all participants can or will contribute verbally in real time. The space should offer asynchronous contribution pathways (forum, Codex) alongside live dialogue.

Notes	Fridays 8–10 Pacific hosted hours

**Frame Purpose**

The primary community hub for student members of the iLRN network — a welcoming, student-centred space that supports professional development, peer networking, mentoring, and participation in the broader iLRN conference. Hosted hours run Fridays 8–10am Pacific, providing a regular structured touchpoint for students across time zones.

Frame type context: Community Space (Functional/Social hybrid) — requires both a structured hosted hours zone and informal gathering space. The regular Friday schedule must be prominently posted.

**Frame Purpose**

The foundational academic home of the Knowledge Tree — the entry point into immersive learning research for newcomers and an anchor for established scholars. This Frame hosts the broadest disciplinary scope on campus, spanning theoretical grounding, historical context, and cross-cutting research methods in immersive learning.

Frame type context: Branch Houses are persistent disciplinary anchors. They host a central meeting area, image boards linking to the Codex and forums, and a showcase zone. They serve all three network lenses: academic (Tree), practitioner (Garden), and futures (Lantern).

**2 Learning Design Requirements*** — + UDL 3.0*

: core observation that learning in VR is often invisible — not well captured by pre/post tests — is directly on-topic for this branch. The Frame should surface this tension as a productive scholarly question, not a problem to be solved away.

UDL: UDL Action & Expression principle is especially relevant here: how learners demonstrate understanding varies. This Frame content should model multiple assessment modalities, not just text-based or quantitative approaches.

# (3) House/Branch/Track #3: Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums (GLAM) [ ![H3 GLAM SS.jpg](https://codex.immersivelrn.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-01/scaled-1680-/pmXx28u0xof78wHq-h3-glam-ss.jpg)](https://codex.immersivelrn.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-01/pmXx28u0xof78wHq-h3-glam-ss.jpg) The House 3 frame includes a library atmosphere with one large auditorium and several gallery levels (shown above). As of January 29, 2026, it currently hosts occasional activities in partnership with the San Jose State University ASIS&T Student Chapter (see calendar for specific details). It also features a photosphere taken of the Glasgow Botanical Gardens during iLRN 2024. The frame contains links to Goodreads Book Lists featuring seminal works of fiction and influential nonfiction on XR topics. A LibGuide link has also been posted on one of the shelves, along with links to the Freedom to Read and Seeking Immortality exhibits created by SJSU. The asset list is being updated.

**Frame Purpose**

The disciplinary home for immersive learning in gallery, library, archive, and museum contexts. This Frame is also the primary collaboration space for the SJSU ASIS&T Student Chapter partnership. It explores how XR and WebXR technologies extend access to cultural heritage, support information literacy, and create new forms of community-based learning.

Frame type context: Branch House — persistent disciplinary anchor. GLAM has an active external partnership with SJSU's ASIS&T Student Chapter; coordination responsibilities sit with the Frame steward (Charlene).

**2 Learning Design Requirements*** — UDL 3.0*

GLAM spaces are natural environments for contextual and transactional learning. The space should focus on providing context and active participation maps well. The Frame should invite exploration, not just display.

UDL: GLAM contexts have historically grappled with physical accessibility barriers — XR offers powerful ways to extend access. This Frame should model UDL's Representation principle: content accessible across multiple sensory and cognitive channels, reflecting GLAM's commitment to open access.

**Frame Purpose**

The disciplinary home for immersive learning research and practice in STEM fields. STEM is the most heavily published domain in XR education research — this Frame surfaces and organises that evidence base while connecting it to the broader iLRN ecosystem.

Frame type context: Branch House — persistent disciplinary anchor. Note that current literature skews heavily toward STEM; this Frame curators should actively surface non-STEM connections and resist silo effects.

**Frame Purpose**

The disciplinary home for immersive learning in language acquisition, cultural education, and heritage preservation. This Frame explores how XR creates contexts for authentic language use, cultural immersion, and the preservation and revitalisation of endangered languages and cultural practices.

Frame type context: Branch House — persistent disciplinary anchor. Language and culture are deeply embodied — this Frame design should reflect that, using cultural artifacts as theming elements while respecting cultural sensitivities.

**2 Learning Design Requirements*** —+ UDL 3.0*

Frehlich: Frehlich context and transactional learning principles are especially powerful here: language and culture are learned through participation and exchange, not passive observation. The Frame should invite interaction, not just display.

UDL: Language diversity is a dimension of UDL that is frequently overlooked in XR design. This Frame should model multilingual accessibility: at minimum, boards should acknowledge the multilingual nature of the iLRN global community.

**Frame Purpose**

The disciplinary home for immersive learning in medical, nursing, allied health, and healthcare training. This is one of the most evidence-rich domains in XR education, with strong applications in clinical simulation, procedural training, patient communication, and interprofessional education.

Frame type context: Branch House — persistent disciplinary anchor. Medical education has strict requirements around accuracy, safety, and professional standards. All content must be reviewed by a domain expert before posting.

**2 Learning Design Requirements*** — + UDL 3.0*

: Emotional well-being is especially salient in medical education contexts — learners are often under significant stress. The Frame should create a psychologically safe environment, consistent with emphasis on emotional state as a determinant of learning effectiveness.

UDL: UDL applied to medical simulation has particular significance: recent research (Doyle et al., 2025) specifically addresses UDL in simulation-based health professions education, noting that inclusive design reduces barriers and fosters psychological safety — critical in high-stakes training contexts.

**2 Learning Design Requirements*** — UDL 3.0*

: observation that learning in VR is invisible resonates strongly here: self-regulation processes are internal and not easily observed. The Frame should surface methods for supporting and observing self-regulation in XR contexts.

UDL: UDL 3.0 goal — learner agency that is purposeful & reflective, resourceful & authentic, strategic & action-oriented — is the direct outcome that Self & Co-Regulated Learning research aims to understand. This Frame should make that connection explicit.

Notes	3D Book Club Fri starting 1/16/2026 (12-month programme)

**Frame Purpose**

The iLRN campus pub and informal scholarly gathering space — a sister social space to the Haptics Café, with a slightly more academic flavour. The Thirsty Scholar hosts the ongoing Friday 3D Book Club (starting 1/16/2026, 12-month programme) and serves as a drop-in space for informal scholarly conversation.

Frame type context: Community Space (Social/Experiential) — experiential design, atmosphere priority. The 12-month Book Club programme makes this a particularly active and persistent space; programming and scheduling must be kept current.

**2 Learning Design Requirements*** — + UDL 3.0*

: The Thirsty Scholar embodies transactional learning principle in its most informal form: knowledge exchange happens through conversation, not curriculum. Design should support that exchange by making it easy for people to gather and talk.

UDL: The Book Club programme must be accessible beyond in-world attendance: asynchronous participation options (forum, Codex discussion) should be linked from the Frame so participants across time zones can engage.

	Universal Requirements (all frames)	Criterion / Pass Threshold
☐	Purpose statement posted in Frame at entry zone	Visible within 10 sec of entering
☐	Orientation cues for newcomers (what this space is, what to do)	Confirmed by blind test with volunteer
☐	Asynchronous contribution pathway available (forum, Codex, Discord link)	At least 1 async pathway; URL live
☐	Content accessible in text form via Codex (Representation — UDL)	Codex page live and linked in Frame
☐	No colour-only navigation cues — all zones/portals have text labels	Confirmed by reviewer
☐	Emotional tone is welcoming; language is jargon-free at entry	Confirmed by reviewer external to Frame team
	Frame-Specific Requirements	Criterion / Pass Threshold
☐	Friday Book Club schedule posted (1/16/2026 start, recurring weekly, 12-month programme)	Schedule current; dates confirmed with Book Club organiser
☐	Asynchronous Book Club participation pathway present (forum or Codex link)	URL live and tested — for participants who cannot attend live
☐	Atmosphere design confirmed — pub/scholarly gathering feel, not conference room	Reviewer confirms on entry

**Frame Purpose**

The operational headquarters for Guided Virtual Adventures — structured facilitated experiences that take iLRN community members through curated XR journeys. This Frame serves as the launch point, orientation space, and debrief zone for GVA programming, connecting the adventure experience to the broader iLRN learning community.

Frame type context: Community Space (Functional/Programmatic) — clear stage or focal point for facilitated sessions. GVA programming should be scheduled and posted; this is not a drop-in space.

**2 Learning Design Requirements*** — + UDL 3.0*

: GVA is the closest campus equivalent to guided learning model — providing the map and compass for navigating an XR experience. The HQ Frame must make the value and structure of GVA sessions clear to newcomers before they commit to participating.

UDL: Guided experiences carry particular UDL responsibility: the facilitator is the primary accessibility mechanism. All GVA sessions should have explicit onboarding, opt-out/opt-in options for different activity types, and a debrief structure that accommodates multiple expression modes.

Frame Type	Hub — Primary Gathering Space	Status	OPEN
Track / Branch	iLRN ORG — Campus-Wide	Capacity	300 users
FrameVR URL	## [http://framevr.io/ilrn-central](http://framevr.io/ilrn-central)
Notes	Needs completion via FrameVR. Greek Agora-themed hub for iLRN2026 — intended capacity ~300, serving as social complement to Zoom sessions and the in-person Athens conference.

	Orientation & Scaffolding (Frehlich: guided vs. open learning; novices need maps)	Criterion / Pass Threshold
	A clearly marked 'Start Here' zone exists at the entry point with movement and navigation instructions	Visitor locates it within 10 sec of entering, without prior knowledge
	Signage explicitly differentiates pathways for: first-time visitors / returning members / conference presenters	Three distinct pathway signs or boards present at entry
	A 'What is iLRN?' explainer board is present — including the mission statement and three network lenses	Board visible from entry; text legible on mobile screen
	A campus map or Frame directory is embedded as a board or linked object	Full campus map (all 24 frames) accessible from Central without leaving the Frame
	Representation — Multiple Ways to Access Content (UDL 3.0, CAST 2024)	Criterion / Pass Threshold
	All navigation signage uses text labels AND visual/spatial cues — not spatial position alone	No portal or zone identified only by colour or shape
	A link to the Codex (BookStack) is prominently featured as a text-equivalent layer for all in-world content	Codex URL linked on at least one board in the entry zone
	Live event schedule is posted as a board in Central (not only in external calendar systems)	Current week's schedule visible in-Frame
	Action & Expression — Multiple Ways to Participate (UDL 3.0; Frehlich: transactional learning)	Criterion / Pass Threshold
	At least two asynchronous contribution pathways are available from Central (e.g. forum link, Codex comment)	Both links confirmed live
	Quest/scavenger hunt entry point or first clue is embedded in Central (iLRN2026 Greek Agora theme)	Quest entry confirmed with George / Greek team before launch
	Discord server link is embedded in Central as a contribution/community pathway	Discord invite link confirmed live and not expired
	Engagement — Relevance, Autonomy, and Belonging (UDL 3.0; Frehlich: emotional well-being)	Criterion / Pass Threshold
	Greek Agora theming is applied — cultural artifacts, philosophical references, spatial identity elements	At least 3 distinct Agora-themed elements placed; performance budget not exceeded
	iLRN2026 conference theme (From Plato's Cave to Open Immersive Societies) is visually present	Theme text or visual visible from entry zone
	Social spaces (Haptics Café, Thirsty Scholar) are signposted directly from Central	Portal or board links to both social spaces
	A welcoming statement from iLRN leadership is included (text board or video board)	Statement approved by organising team; video set to NOT autoplay

	Layout (Hub Frame — high traffic, open, multi-portal)	Criterion / Pass Threshold
	Open, uncluttered layout at entry — no objects blocking central walking path	Walk path clear for avatar movement in all directions from spawn point
	Multiple portals (minimum 4) connecting to key campus zones	≥ 4 portals: Branch Houses hub, Special Projects, Community Spaces, and Expo
	Consistent portal visual language used — same portal asset style as all other Frames	Portal asset matches campus-wide standard
	Frame environment size is appropriate for 300-user capacity — large, open environment selected	Not a small meeting room env; auditorium or plaza-scale
	Navigation	Criterion / Pass Threshold
	No dead-end navigation paths — every portal links out; Central links in from all Frames	Verified by walking test; all portals bidirectional
	'Go To Menu' configured with named links to all 24 campus Frames	Frame link list complete and tested
	Navigation from entry to any Branch House ≤ 2 portal hops	Routing map confirms ≤ 2 hops to any Frame
	Signage	Criterion / Pass Threshold
	All text legible at default eye level on a mobile screen without zooming	Phone screen test by reviewer
	No signage relies on colour alone	Each colour-coded element has a text or icon label
	Signage uses consistent font style with rest of campus	Matches campus-wide signage template

	Performance Monitor Readings — record actuals in fields below	Criterion / Pass Threshold
	FPS ≥ 40 on reviewer desktop (Chrome/Edge)	Target 60; below 40 = must fix
	FPS ≥ 30 on iOS Safari mobile	iOS Safari is hardest platform; must pass
	Draw call count ≤ 200	Babylon Inspector → Stats; hard ceiling per FrameVR docs
	Active face/poly count ≤ 130,000	Babylon Inspector → Stats; hard ceiling per FrameVR docs
	Material count ≤ 20	Babylon Inspector → Stats; hard ceiling per FrameVR docs
	Performance Rating not flagged RED in Frame Settings	Yellow = caution; Red = block launch
	Asset Hygiene — especially critical for high-capacity Hub	Criterion / Pass Threshold
	All images compressed before import (squoosh.app)	No raw camera/screen captures imported
	No 3D model from Sketchfab imported without poly-count review	Flagged models in Assets list reviewed and resolved
	Unused assets deleted (not just hidden)	Assets list contains only active assets
	Greek Agora themed assets are low-poly — confirmed before placement	Each Agora asset poly-counted before upload ![](https://codex.immersivelrn.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/k2a41lGrSJLplpvU-embedded-image-ul5bosus.png) *Check with the owner of the asset before deletion!!*
	Media Settings	Criterion / Pass Threshold
	All videos set to NOT autoplay	Each video asset → autoplay = OFF
	Webcam/streaming screens disabled unless live event in progress	Default OFF; enable only during scheduled sessions
	No Smoke particle effects in use	Smoke = high GPU cost; zero tolerance in a 300-user hub
	No excessive animated objects; animations minimised	Each looping animation adds ongoing GPU load
