The conference, which will take place in the Sala Rosa of Hall 14.1 at Feria de Madrid at 10:30, will deal with the advantages of the 'Flipped Learning' methodology (inverted class) when it comes to incorporating various learning methods. With this approach, Professor Cáceres presents the evaluation of the 'escape room' educational carried out with their students during the month of May.

In the presentation, the teacher will explain how this activity was carried out and how the motivation, setting and challenges faced by the students were emphasized. The students had to tackle both computer-based challenges and others based on the manipulation of physical objects. In this way they were able to work both in teams and collaboratively.
