Whether played by teens, adults or in corporate team-building programs, an Escape Room is a perfect way to test your wits in a race against time. Throughout the world the fascinating world of Escape Rooms is popular and growing! According to S. Nicholson’s study on escape rooms, they involve teamwork, communication, and delegation as well as critical thinking, attention to detail, and lateral thinking.

Escape rooms continue to be a popular pastime. Physical escape rooms have expanded to include tabletop games and online experiences. In addition to being a fun activity, digital escape rooms can also be used as effective training tools. A digital escape room engages the learner by using game mechanics such as story, Easter eggs, puzzle solving and competition and provides a unique platform for learning.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced organizations to move their learning and development offerings online. The digital transformation of learning has had advantages for workers now able to access learning and development online, at their own pace, and from their own homes.

However, the mad-dash approach to migrating existing face-to-face content to a digital format without time to intentionally cultivate a desired digital learning experience has left some learners and organizations with the impression that online learning is not as effective or engaging as face-to-face.

In this webinar Kiara Graham (LinkedIn profile), Learning Strategy Consultant with D2L will discuss the advantages of online learning and focus on strategies organizations can use to optimize their learning offerings for a new, digital, post-pandemic workplace.

Kiara will discuss:

• The importance of online learning and how it can increase accessibility and adoption of learning programs
• Intentionally cultivating social and peer-to-peer learning in a virtual environment
• Measuring learner success, engagement, and adoption for online learning programs
