As well inspiring programmes of talks across both days, including BBC Gardeners’ World presenter Nick Bailey talking about “Unusual Edibles in the City”. A section on immersive learning is offered, a style of learning situations that are constructed using a variety of techniques and software tools, in order to create simulation-based learning in virtual 3D worlds.
