During this month-long scaffolded assignment, students collaborate in small groups to create educative digital breakout games on a relevant topic of interest. The assessment is grounded in instructional frameworks such as Constructivism, Understanding by Design, and Design Thinking. It follows a project-based structure guided by breakout game research that consists of the following steps: 1) Choose a topic, 2) Identify learning outcomes, 3) Craft a scenario, 4) Design instructional puzzles, 5) Create lock boxes, 6) Build the game website. With sufficient scaffolding, no prior technical skills are needed!
