Applying an escape room game in synchronous online learning activity: A preliminary analysis of learners’ learning achievement, flow and technology acceptance

The research applying an escape room game to development a digital game-based synchronous online learning (DGBSOL) activity for chemistry course. In DGBSOL activity, the students firstly used the games for group collaborative autonomous pre-learning, and then had the problem-solving discussion activities guided by the teacher in synchronous online learning environment. Participants in this research were 31 senior high school students. The results showed that DGBSOL not only significantly improved students' learning performance, but also significantly promoted the flow and technology acceptance degree of them.
