04/04 Virtual Escape Rooms: Virtual escape rooms are interactive virtual environments that present an opportunity to test students? knowledge of the course concepts and also bring a gaming and entertainment element into the online course. Just like in a real escape room, the main goal in a virtual escape room is to use different clues to find the way out of the room. Along the way of this experience, students may be asked to answer questions, take quizzes, or write short essay answers. When passing each of these activities, students may receive a code or an additional clue to unlock the room. Adding virtual escapes rooms may be an interesting way to diversify the learning materials and exercises used in the course. Additionally, they provide an entertaining way of summarizing and applying students? learning.
10:00 - 11:00, Zoom (online only), Katerina Berezina
