EDUC-F 401: Survey of Serious Games
This is the first course in a series to prepare students to understand games and simulations in general, and to take a first crack at designing a game where meaningful play will initiate learning on the part of the player. Creating virtual learning environments is the new media to know if you want to make a difference, be it in educational, military or corporate contexts.
In this course you will play and analyze games such that you can begin designing your own games. Pipeline Management will also be addressed as it fits into the Instructional Design Process.
