There are a number of digital tools we will make use of this semester, even just to carry out the business of working together. You are not expected to know these already, and there will be as much help and support as is needed, but you are expected to embrace the use of new tools. It is not as simple as plugging into Learn, but there are many other advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning Goal 1<\/strong> \u2013 Learn new tools and ways of working. Adapt to new environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning Goal 2<\/strong> \u2013 Pick up Markdown, a blogging engine, or some other form of internet-aware independent publication skills and tools. i.e Be able to put your work on the internet in a place\/fashion you retain ownership of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will also need to pick up tools and practices relevant to your prototypes, things like game engines, Photoshop, etc. I do not have a list of things you need to learn. Each project will require its own tools. But I will train and support you in at least ARIS, so that everyone has something they can use on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning Goal 3<\/strong> \u2013 Pick up at least one design tool for the creation of local games. Develop basic proficiency of its use. i.e. see through a simple design to a playable state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
