Description
Class Experience
Students will practice problem-solving skills by solving different puzzle types. These puzzle types test critical thinking, creativity, spatial awareness, and more.
I am an avid game designer and have created/used multiple games for pedagogical purposes in both my elementary school and college classrooms. I've published research on the effectiveness of games in education. I created the popular Outschool escape rooms "Escape from the Minotaur" and "Escape from the Krampus."
There is no homework for this course.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
The group's success will be based on a points system (number of puzzles solved) and whether or not they defeated the dragon.
1 hour 15 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Although the game focuses on "defeating" monsters, there is no violence in the game. The game works on old-school RPG logic - when you defeat a monster, it vanishes. Any group that is "defeated" by the dragon simply loses gold and equipment and can try again.
