My Digital Experience: A Show and Tell Conference (Day 2 Presentations: Session 1 - Alison Hedrick. ID - Kelley Price)

Supporting Student Learning to Help Them “Escape”

As faculty, we have the responsibility of enhancing the student learning experience in an effort to help students escape (or graduate!). At the beginning of the semester, we do not want our students to feel like they were thrown into an escape room, trying to solve the puzzle of how the course is organized. However, escape room activities can be incorporated into your online and face-to-face classrooms to encourage effective communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaborative work. In this session, we will discuss ways you can organize your course and create game-based learning experiences, both of which will support student success.
