What this paper is
This is a theoretical and design paper describing the rationale, pedagogical framework, and platform choices for an online escape room intended for third-year speech-language pathology students at the University of the Witwatersrand. It lays out the conceptual underpinnings (social constructivism, self-determination theory, simulation-based learning), the Genial.ly platform features, and the South African contextual justification for the activity. The authors state explicitly that the project did not assess learning outcomes directly. No students were recruited, no intervention was delivered, and no data were collected. There is no finding here to change your practice on.
