The theme of his talk was &#8220;What&#8217;s the worst that can happen?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simon Usherwood&#8217;s keynote was a refreshing change.

However, I chose the topics that focused on how technology was being used to further learning both at the University of Southampton and elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charlotte and I again presented together. This time our talk was entitled <strong><em>Enhancing the learning experience and digital literacies of English Language Teachers on an Online MA in ELT through Blackboard and Microsoft Teams<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Sortez-moi de l\u00e0 ! Holt mich hier raus! Get me out of here! \u2013 Designing\nescape games for language classes <\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One particular session that gained my attention was by Sascha Stollhans from Lancaster University. Stollhans used the idea of escape games to get his students working as teams on key concepts within his classes. He would set them on a mission using a video created in <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Powtoon (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.powtoon.com\/index\/\" target=\"_blank\">Powtoon<\/a>. Then they had to solve a series of problems using their language skills within the space of an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What did we plan?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a workshop session. Consequently, in teams, we had to come up with an escape game that we could create for our students. My team planned to create a mystery either around the theft of a painting or a murder. There would be pictures of the suspects on the wall and each one would have a QR code on it. The learners (in teams) could scan the QR code and hear the suspect say something which would help them to narrow down the suspects. You could add additional information to the sound file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our idea was that students could then piece together information about the painting that has been stolen by asking questions about clothes, facial features, objects etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, students could get language questions right to get pieces of a puzzle that looks like the right painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Have you tried creating an escape game in your subject area? We&#8217;d love to hear about it.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been fortunate enough to attend (and present at) two education conferences in the last fortnight.
