Floor Layout View the diagram below to see the room numbers and layout. Use the guide below to see where objects are in the rooms, as well as, the recommended order for content consumption:

Based on studies done in similar immersive environments, Avaya Learning recommends students allow themselves time to experience and process the knowledge delivered in the Virtual Campus by limiting consumption to half day sessions. All students are different and some may be able to do more for longer, but we have seen the greatest levels of understanding and retention from those students that spread the training over time and use half day blocks. Below is the recommended room order. Within each room, you should move clockwise around the room starting from your left:  Room 1 Overview and VPS 4000 and VSP 8000 HW and SW  Room 2 ERS 8000 Hardware and Software Overview  Room 3 VSP 9000 Hardware and Software Overview  Room 4 Configuration Interfaces  Room 5 Initial Switch Configuration  Room 6 Security and QoS  Room 7 Layer 1 and 2  Room 8 Layer 3 Overview  Room 9 IPv6  Room 10 Multicast and Intro to Avaya Fabric Connect
