Learning Objectives
Describe effective verbal, nonverbal, and listening skills for working in multi-cultural groups. In teams, students will create online escape rooms for the other teams in the class to complete. Escape rooms require participants to use effective verbal, nonverbal, and listening skills for working in multi-cultural groups. Each escape room must also include challenges that require participants to use their knowledge of key terms and concepts from one of the chapters in the textbook, an OER.

- Each team will submit a final draft of their escape room to the professor for feedback before submitting the final version.
Format Requirements
The online escape room may be created using any platform that students can access for free. Each escape room must include at least 6 challenges and should take approximately 30 minutes to complete.
