ESCAPE THE LIBRARY!

As part of your EDHE 105 and 305 classes, you will need to learn the basics of how to use UM Libraries in order to find resources quickly. This escape room activity is designed with two learning objectives:

1. Conceptualize complex issues or problems. The Escape room will require you to use problem solving skills to complete the activity successfully. This activity will familiarize you with the library homepage including identification of useful links that you will need the rest of the academic year.

2. Gather pertinent facts or ideas to explore complex issues or problems. The online escape room will require you to use library links to complete the activity while exposing you to the same resources you will need throughout the semester to begin your research skills.
