Escape Rooms in Education Showcase 2.0

Escape rooms are rising in prominence within education and whilst colleagues have shared their experiences at conferences, we wanted a dedicated online event to showcase and champion their use across the sector. So, for the second year we have put together an exciting line-up of keynote talks, workshops and shared practice sessions with colleagues across education.

The showcase is on Friday the 10th of May 2024, and is open to all, with no registration fee. The global event will kick off from 8:00 AM BST with a mix of synchronous and asynchronous sessions so feel free to dip in and out across the day until 8pm BST. 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 on the topics of supporting pedagogical approaches, how to design a room, how to the build the room in a digital environment and also the chance to experience a digital escape room for yourself. We hope the event will be an informative but fun and light-hearted end to the academic year.

We will be sharing on X (Twitter) and Mastodon using the hashtag #EscapeRmEdu.
