UPDATES FOR THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 2

NISOD presents Escaping the Classroom: Designing Digital Escape Rooms for Learning

Monday, October 2, 2023, 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Escape rooms require players to complete tasks and solve puzzles in order to escape a locked room. Digital escape rooms function much like their physical counterparts except they take place entirely online. They don’t require physical equipment, and have become a popular way for instructors to engage their students online. In this webinar, participants engage in a live, digital escape room and learn how to design their own by brainstorming the concept, creating the puzzles, setting up the virtual environment, and testing the game. No matter your skill level, you will have the tools needed to create an engaging digital escape room for your students. Click here to access Escaping the Classroom.
