This course focuses on applying game and simulation design strategies to increase context, motivation, engagement and learning outcomes. Character development, narrative, user interface, game play, game balancing, principles of level design and feedback in games and simulations will be applied as students design a game or simulation to achieve a learning goal. The differences and similarities between game and simulation concepts, genres and worlds will be examined as will game and simulation intricacies for specific groups and game production and management.

Game • No background needed, simple back story • Third-person (detachment from consequences) • Focused / Narrow • Score-based • Distorted reality • Keyboard or mouse controlled (screen location) • Rules govern play • Levels of similar play (more difficult, different scenes) • More non-linear Simulation • Back story • First or second person (attached to consequences) • Broad experience • Performance-based • Contextual and realistic • Decision controlled • Information governs play • Levels of completely new situations • More linear (process)
