Since 2019, two independently taught courses with distinct learning outcomes have come together each fall to design and build a fully functioning escape room for a real client. In this case study, we will share how we have refined our model for bringing students from multiple disciplines together, breaking down silos between courses, and creating a productive give-and-take throughout the design process. We will discuss what students gain from working across disciplines, with a client, and on creative work that continues beyond the semester, as well as how we collaborate as faculty while maintaining distinct courses and learning goals.
The CITL Art of Teaching Friday Forum is a showcase for exploring the art and science of teaching. The series highlights faculty from across the disciplines who are conducting research on their teaching and connecting their findings to classroom practice.
Whether sharing the results of a classroom study, examining emerging trends in higher education, or highlighting effective instructional approaches, each presentation offers data-driven insights that deepen our understanding of student learning and advances the practice of teaching.
Join us online over the lunch hour for inspiring ideas and friendly conversation. The Art of Teaching Friday Forum is presented via Zoom on the first Friday of each month during the Fall and Spring semesters from Noon–1:00 pm.
