There's so much inspiration & great teaching practice in this keynote you'll want to watch the recording again & again. Particularly useful to see global hybrid teaching in practice & get ideas for how to use it. Thanks @SusanBridges @CETLHKU @LTA_HWU.

A4: Best advice for designing an escape room? Experience one!
There are lots of conference sessions or workshops on escape rooms these days. Even heading to one of the commercial/entertainment escape rooms sets the benchmark for an immersive experience. #LTHEchat
Not silly at all I have seen instructions with passwords at end of sentence - is punctuation part of password or not. Obvious after people get confused/stuck 😵💫
A3 this might seem silly but keeping the answer simple! Participants can get frustrated if they’re spelling something incorrectly or having trouble with upper/lower case! Instructions need to be specific in this regard. #LTHEchat
Feeling a warm sense of overlap with today's #CreativeHE session - discussing how to create welcoming spaces, inclusive and helping people feel valued #LTHEchat#Neurodiversity
A2 a good design can be an effective leveller - everyone contributing in different ways so hopefully feeling valued. Also, can be a nice welcoming/non-threatening space for participants #LTHEchat
A2 I think they are good as group tasks to find out that necessary yet boring info that students need to know, and make the fact finding fun. #lthechat
A2 a sense of playfulness that can overcome staff-student communication barriers and inject a bit of joy into the curriculum, something memorable for students & staff #LTHEchat
