# Student Center [![Student Center SS.jpg](https://codex.immersivelrn.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-01/scaled-1680-/Zi4XRh4IlLv00Wl5-student-center-ss.jpg)](https://codex.immersivelrn.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-01/Zi4XRh4IlLv00Wl5-student-center-ss.jpg) ***The Student Center currently hosts open hours on Fridays from 8 am to 10 am PST. It contains the main campus map, an AI assistant, four seasonal skyboxes to select from on the side of the fireplace, a book shelf linked to the [Prelinger Library's Stacks Explorer](https://prelingerlibrary.org/stacks/) which provides a novel means of browsing materials online (the collection focuses on 19th and 20th-century historical ephemera, periodicals, maps, and books, focusing on materials often ignored by traditional libraries, such as trade catalogs and promotional materials). This room also features posters and links to current iLRN happenings, as well as a clock linked to [Time Buddy for easy time conversion](https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/?pl=1&lid=5368361,5666639,4887398,5128581,2643743,0,264371,30,1850147,22&h=264371&hf=1).*** **CS-03 iLRN Student Center**

**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.

**2 Learning Design Requirements*** — + UDL 3.0*
: emotional well-being principle is especially important for student participants, who may feel pressure to perform competence in unfamiliar XR environments. The Student Center should actively normalise exploration and error as part of learning.
UDL: Students represent the most diverse range of prior immersive learning experience on campus. UDL Engagement — particularly building relevance and community belonging — is the priority for this space. Students must feel genuinely welcomed, not tolerated.
