This is a a one-week course in designing and developing serious games. Serious games are games that are designed for a serious purpose and not only for entertainment (defense, education, scientific exploration, health care, emergency management, city planning, engineering, religion, politics, ect). SEGAN is a network whose goal is to promote the development and use of serious games. iTec is a project whose goal is to develop engaging learning scenarios.
During this course we will introduce the iTec scenario: "Students Designing Educational Games". The 1st day of the course will be used for introductory lectures covering different aspects of the serious games design and development. The next 3 days will be a hands on design and development session in the computer lab. Students in small groups design and develop serious games from idea to prototype. In the end of the workshop they present the results and test them with their fellow students. The final 5th day is a international conference where European experts present novel topics from the field of serious games.The language of the course is English.
