Notice Title

Land Based Learning - Escape Room Activities

Notice Description

Escape rooms are live action games where a group or Individual player(s) are locked in a room and must gather clues and solve puzzles to escape. The rising popularity of escape rooms as entertainment and the popularity of online educational learning has led to the repurpose of escape rooms for the classroom. Research into the impact of escape rooms as educational tools is still in its early stages, though studies have shown a positive impact on content knowledge and collaboration skills. With the movement towards blended learning and increasing student engagement online, escape rooms could present an exciting new way to engage students in content material. They have the potential to support the development of content knowledge as well as soft skills which are beneficial in employment such as leadership and communication. Further websites, videos, or other interactive digital material can easily be incorporated into the various puzzles within the escape activity. Student research groups have fed back that there is a desire to have more opportunity to put theory-based learning in to practice and a keen interest in gamifications within learning. Escape activities have the potential to address both of these feedback points, as well as supporting students gaining key skills for employment. Key learning outcomes would be developed into the escape activities linked closely to the current curriculum and built with subject matter experts to ensure learning outcomes are ...ssment tool, based on an escape room design, will have a mastery approach that: Will provide familiarisation with potentially dangerous situations. Bridges the gap between theory and practical learning. Removes location as a barrier through mobile technology.
