Escape Room in Education Showcase 2.0

* Registration Open * see attached flyer


Join us for some end of semester fun and puzzle solving at a day long free online event dedicated to showcasing escape rooms in education. More information is available at the Learning and Teaching Academy website including details of our fantastic guest speakers: https://lta.hw.ac.uk/escape-rooms-in-education-showcase/



The global event will kick off from 8:00 AM BST Friday 10th May with a mix of synchronous and asynchronous sessions so feel free to dip in and out across the day. All sessions will be delivered online with live sessions taking place in Microsoft Teams.

Over the day you will have the chance to hear from experienced colleagues regarding the pedagogy of gamification used in escape rooms, how to design an escape room, how to build the room in a digital environment and also the chance to experience a digital escape room for yourself at different points across the programme.
