3. I HAVE A QUESTION…..

4. WHY HR IN TRAINING & LEARNING?
A HR….
• RESEMBLES HUMAN LOOK
• IMITATES HUMAN BEHAVIOR
• PROVOKES CURIOSITY
• PROVIDES A FUN EXPERIENCE
• STIMULATES EMPATHY
…AND RELEVANT !

5. WHAT KIND OF TRAINING WE ARE
LOOKING FOR?
WE LOOK FOR A TRAINING PROCESS THAT IS…
• EXERCISED BY TEAM WORK
• SUPPORTED BY A HR: TECHNOLOGICAL WONDER
• ENGAGED BY TRAINEES

6. THE SOLUTION:
ESCAPE ROOM ACTIVITY
PARTICIPANTS ORGANIZED AS TEAM-BASED AIM
TO COMPLETE A SERIES OF CHALLENGING TASKS
THAT ARE FACILITATED BY A HR WITHIN A
LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME

7. THE NEXT CHALLENGES
• TOPIC
• LOCATION
• SETTING

8. THE TEAM

10. THEME: NATIONAL SECURITY
• THE PARTICIPANTS HAD TO “SAVE THE NATION” BY LOCATING
SENSITIVE SECURITY INFORMATION STOLEN AND STORED IN A
LOCKED ESCAPE BOX.
• THE GAMIFIED ACTIVITY REQUIRES PARTICIPANTS TO
COOPERATIVELY SOLVE FOUR RIDDLES
• ALL RIDDLES MUST BE SOLVED IN A LIMITED AMOUNT OF
TIME

11. THE TREASURE BOX

12. COMPLEMENTARY MOBILE APPLICATION

13. HR AFFORDANCES
• FACE RECOGNITION
• VOICE RECOGNITION
• BROADCASTING RIDDLES AND CLUES
• FEEDBACK

14. …..AND GUESS WHO IS THE TUTOR????

15. LET THE GAME BEGIN!

16. HERE IS A TASTE…
FACE RECOGNITION TRANSMITTING A HINT

18. AN EVALUATION STUDY
• TEN EXPERTS INTERVIEWED
• THE RESULTS WERE VERY ENCOURAGING ON THE FEASIBILITY
THAT HR CAN SERVE AS A MOTIVATIONAL TUTOR IN ADULTS'
COLLABORATIVE GAME-BASED LEARNING
• ….BUT THERE ARE STILL CHALLENGES TO BE
ADDRESSED IN FUTURE PROJECTS
