The Facilitating Learning with Animation and Multimedia Engagement (FLAME) project provides a framework to easily design, author, produce and publish rich interactive 3D media to support teaching and learning. The media can be viewed on any device with a web browser.
The approaches described within these training materials use freely available and open-source tools. The materials are device agnostic and are accessible on any device a student may have such as a smartphone, tablet or laptop computer. While they also seamlessly work with VR/AR headsets such as the Meta Quest they are not necessary. This therefore places no financial burden on the student or the educational institution.
The materials that may be created using the methods described herein are displayed inline in a HTML page and appear as an image unless the learner decides to interact. There are no interruptions, sign ins, plugins or subscriptions. It is designed to be as seamless as possible.
These resources have proved to be effective in helping students understand complex and abstract concepts where visualisation can improve learning. Students have reported that these materials make ideas ‘click’ in STEM subjects in particular.
The creation of such materials requires a good degree of technical knowledge. These training materials are designed to cover the basics in 3D modelling, animations, HTML and JavaScript to help novices get started. Further training via micro-credential will help educators advance their capabilities. The project lead is also available to provide guidance on a case by case basis.

In this video Ciarán O’Connor for the Institute of Strategic Dialogue guides us through a case study of how false information was used to undermine confidence in the Irish local elections in June 2024.
Project NOURISH is a campus-based nutrition and health intervention, originally designed for MTU staff. This was designed as part of a broader research study to investigate how to enable healthier dietary behaviours within university environments.
In today’s digital age, information spreads fast—yet not all of it is true or trustworthy. Knowing the differences between misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation is key to thinking critically online.
In the video below Ciarán O’Connor from the Institute of Strategic Dialogue discusses the disinformation ecosystem in Ireland.
This OER explores the use of Inspiration Mind Mapping software to support student learning through demonstrations and training sessions with Applied Social Care and LSAD students.
