What is Online/Virtual Teaching

Learning With Escape Rooms in Higher Education Online Environments
Any type of teaching in which students and professor are not all physically present in the same location, or face-to-face. At the same time, online teaching can be synchronous (if when classes occur, professor and students are connected at the same time in an online session) or asynchronous (for example, if the professor records the classes and students watch them at their own pace). Additionally, hybrid modes of teaching (both online and face-to-face) could be implemented as well.

Abstract
This chapter examines three educational escape rooms applied in engineering courses in the specific area of computer networks. This analysis includes background, design decisions, implementation details, and obtained results. The objective is to provide a quick overview of ideas for teachers who want to initiate the field. Preliminary results seem promising in terms of student engagement and motivation, which is particularly relevant in online environments. The current literature indicates a trend about educational escape rooms during the last years, which will likely increase, while future research should focus on tools and resources to implement them and collaboration among professors to perform extensive evaluations in terms of learning outcomes.
