We are delighted to invite you to a #creativeHE meetup with Jennifer Park and Beatriz Acevedo.
Jennifer’s session explores the creative way to design an online escape room as a classroom activity, using MS Office, to increase students’ engagement in HE. Participants learn how to use MS Word, PowerPoint, and MS Forms to design interactive activities for students with step-by-step guidelines. Practical examples and tips are shared to support educators who design the escape room activity first time.
Beatriz’s session will walk us through activating your creative super powers in three easy steps. This is a workshop for people who need a bit of encouragement to connect with their creative powers. It taps on imperfection, playfulness, and contemplation, through really very easy mark making exercises.
