    Break Out and Break Through: The Transformative Power of Digital Educational Escape Rooms in Online Higher Education Courses and Seminars
    (2025-11-12) Poole, Julee; Goal, Amit
    During this presentation, participants explored the transformative impact of Digital Educational Escape Rooms (DEERs) on students in online higher education courses and seminars. As traditional teaching methods faced increasing challenges, DEERs provided an innovative way to motivate students and promote meaningful learning through gamification, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. Attendees learned how students benefited from experiencing, navigating, and solving DEERs—leading to a stronger connection with course content, increased engagement, the development of critical thinking skills, and a heightened sense of community. A live demonstration of a DEER was shared to illustrate how these virtual experiences function in practice. This approach fostered a more inclusive, interactive, and effective learning environment that encouraged active participation and collaboration. Participants gained an understanding of how DEERs enhance online education, inspire students, and support dynamic, equitable, and impactful learning experiences in the digital age.

    Beyond the Screen: Overcoming Technology Barriers in Online Higher Education
    (2025-11) AuCoin, Dena; Williams, Dorothy ; Sorg, Tyler; McClure, Shauna; Simon, DeAnn
    As online education becomes a cornerstone of higher education, our focus must shift from simply identifying technological barriers to actively building solutions. This presentation revisits the challenges faced by online students and faculty but now moves beyond them to explore innovative, evidence-based strategies for creating truly accessible and effective digital learning environments. This presentation addresses the following questions: 1) What specific technological and institutional barriers do online higher education students face in utilizing digital tools to overcome academic challenges in their learning environment? 2) What specific technological and pedagogical barriers do online faculty face in utilizing digital tools to address teaching-related obstacles? This presentation details the conclusion of a comprehensive research study that moves beyond simply identifying technological barriers in online higher education to focus on proactive and sustainable solutions. Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative data, this session will analyze the key challenges faced by online learners and instructors, from unequal access to technology and digital literacy gaps to the complexities of pedagogical adaptation. The session will showcase and analyze a range of innovative solutions that have proven effective in mitigating these obstacles. The session will also present our study's methodology, key findings, and a clear dissemination strategy to ensure these insights can be practically applied. The ultimate goal of this presentation is to foster a campus-wide dialogue on continuous improvement, providing faculty, administrators, and support staff with practical, evidence-based strategies for enhancing the accessibility and overall quality of online education. Attendees will leave with insights to brainstorming a roadmap for transforming technological challenges into opportunities for innovation and equitable student success.
