This session will explore the why, what, and how of Learning Escape Games. Why would we use an escape game vs any other learning experience? What in the world is a learning escape game? How do I build one (or at least where do I start?) We will play. We will chat. And you will escape this session.

3 Takeaways:

• Experience playing a few escape puzzles to reveal the WHY of learning escape games
• Engage in two frameworks that will help you build your next escape game: CAR and the Learning Escape Game System
• Brainstorm puzzle ideas that will prepare you to build your own puzzle experiences

 

Imagine an experience that moved you; an event, a speech, an experience in nature, or a song that created a reaction. In that moment, you felt compelled to take action, to reflect, or just be grateful.

My passion is to create those experiences in a learning setting. 

As an instructional designer, a training manager, a facilitator, and a performance and process improvement consultant, my vision is to engage and motivate and to create meaningful change. 

I earned my Doctorate of Education in Organizational Leadership, with additional coursework in Instructional Design Leadership. My research interests are to explore interactive and immersive learning environments and the impact they can have in comparison to typical organizational training experiences. My study will specifically look at the potential of an escape room game as an instructional tool.
