Presented at MMVC14 - MoodleMoot Virtual Conference - August 3, 2014 "Flat but Spatial" Tired of slides? See how 5 years of experience with 2d and 3d ‘spatial environments’ works for adult learners based on taking 4 university courses and teaching for 5 years. See how how a flipped project based constructivist gamified MOOC worked and failed in practice. (Track 19 -New & Innovative Programs)
