Spare classroom / Meetingpoint
To facilitate in a steady place for Office Hours, Meetings, as well as a Spare Classroom in the unlikely event of a double booked / Time overlapping Class, There is a Spare Classroom available.
It can hold up to a grand total of 60 people, (50 visitors and 10 speakers) and does have an "Volunteer Orientation Class Hand Outs Kiosk" (New version), and a MediaPanel.
The MediaPanel is capable of streaming the movie "The Tao of Volunteers" In-World. ( /9 tao)
As it is located at 2048 Meters up in the sky, this location is only reachable by Teleport Pad. (MeetPoint)
New Volunteer Orientation Class Hand Outs Kiosk
Since the original Hand Out Kiosk only hands out the US/EN version of the Hand Outs, Neovo has created a new Orientation Class Hand Outs Kiosk at SLVEC, next to the Original one. This Kiosk is suited for 16 Languages, where as at this moment, 8 languages are already incorporated. As a result, Neovo masked the original Kiosk with a Notecard Giver, which tells they can obtain the Hand Outs from the Kiosk next to it. Due to an unknown effect, one might NOT see some or all the Language Cubes in this Kiosk when walking towards it from the far side. For that, you may want to notify Apprentices they have to physically walk up close to it and then choose the Language they will understand best. Selecting a language is done by clicking the Cube with the Landcode of choice.
(This is not yet approved by the V-Team. Neovo will restore the Old kiosk in function and will delete this new Kiosk when he receives a denial for it. If approved, this Kiosk will remain the Hand Out Kiosk for Upcoming Classes.)
