GAME STUDIES AND DESIGN
GAME STUDIES AND DESIGN
2025 Spring Term
Communication 351
This course requires students to engage in and analyze a variety of interactive media: games and other forms of play. The goal is to turn a critical consciousness towards an activity that they have engaged in since birth, and consider how play changes when it is electronically mediated. Interactive media fundamentally changes the process of communication because the audience becomes more active. Users author their own experience and this fundamentally changes the role of author/architect of the medium. This course will examine audience/player experience, game/interaction content, and the effects of playing on the players. Students will analyze play experiences and learn how to develop new games.
Other Requirements: PREREQ: JUNIOR/SENIOR STATUS OR CONSENT OF INSTRUCTOR
