Implementación de recursos narrativos audiovisuales en una escape room educacional digital. “Alimental, querida Watson: El extraño caso de las misteriosas luces verdes de la Torre de Londres”

Resumo

With the aim of improving the digital escape room "Alimental, querido Watson" designed during the 2020/2021 academic year for the Dietetics and Nutrition subject (3rd course of the Degree in Medicine), we have generated audiovisual material in which the professors of the subject, characterized as Dr. Watson and Mr. Holmes, introduce the students to the resolution of each puzzle and offer feedback to complete the mission.The results of this new version of the escape room show that the audiovisual narrative materials created: 1) encourage greater student participation in the activity (90%), 2) contribute to improve academic performance, since the participants obtained an averagegrade in the subject 0.77 points higher than the non-participants, and 3) the students evaluate the audiovisual narrative material very positively, since 82.9% of them consider the videos useful for the activity and 36% think that they are the best of the escape room. In addition, all the students who carried out the previous version of the escape room in the 2020/2021 academic year and have also tested the current version consider that the videos improve the experience.
