- Presentation abstract発表の要約
Escape Rooms involve people—working alone or in groups—in such goal achievement activities as solving puzzles and codes, finding things, and unlocking zones in order to “escape” before time runs out. While we normally associate escape rooms with physical spaces, it is also possible to run them in our classes online. These provide opportunities for our students to develop and use their English skills in both creative and critical ways. Using Moodle’s “Restrict access” and “Activity completion” functions with activities, students have to move through a series of timed tasks in order to gather the clues that will allow them to escape from the “room”. These sessions are always a lot of fun and are well received by the students. In this presentation, I’ll demonstrate how I have been using these escape rooms on Moodle in my Media Skills classes. Attendees will have an opportunity to try an escape room themselves, and I’ll explain the nuts and bolts of setting one up.

Feedback This sounds like a lot of fun for students while they can learn at the same time. I would have liked to get a little bit more information in the abstract, and hope the presenter will address these during the presentation: 1) Are these group activities or can the instructor/students choose? ,2) What is the average length of the activities or put differently, how many tries do students need to escape, and 3) What is the workload for the instructor to set this up.

Feedback Love this idea! And love the fact that this submission is squarely focused on pedagogy. In fact, I would like to invite the authors to do a 90min workshop on the 17th in addition to this presentation where they can demonstrate exactly how to incorporate escape rooms in teaching (as a workshop, participants will be able to try it for themselves). Please contact me if this would be possible adam@wisecat. net

Feedback This is relatively clear and a unique contribution to an MAJ Moot. I assume the use of "Escape Rooms" to be presented is from a synchronous perspective? It would be nice to have that clear in the abstract.
