Mask-Ed: The educator transforms into a person with a history/story which is relevant to the learning experience and becomes a platform for teaching. The technique involves a three-way interplay involving the educator, the character and the learner. The educator tin character directs the learning process as they create a spontaneous and realistic simulation experience.
