Description:

Digital escape room designs in education have become an innovative and engaging way to promote critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills among students. By combining the emotional interest in escape rooms with educational content, these virtual puzzles provide a hands-on learning experience that encourages collaboration and application of knowledge in creative ways. Whether used to reinforce classroom lessons or to introduce new concepts, digital escape rooms offer a fun, immersive environment where students can actively participate in their learning journey. This interactive approach enhances student engagement while fostering a sense of accomplishment as learners work together to solve challenges and unlock new knowledge.

Digital Escape Room Designs in Education explores the transition of escape rooms from physical to virtual environments, highlighting the influence of technological advancements in this transformation. It analyzes game design principles, the integration of technologies like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI), and the application of these games in educational contexts, as well as business aspects like market trends, challenges, and opportunities. This book covers topics such as escape rooms, design technology, and instructional design, and is a useful resource for educators, academicians, computer engineers, scientists, and researchers.
