A Project of the GRAND NCE
The Game of Writing is being used for the first time in a writing course WRS 102 Writing in the Disciplines. This course is the first test of the online gamified writing environment that started as a GRAND prototype research project but not the last – we expect 200 students to enroll in the fall 2014 class.
The University of Alberta today launches its second MOOC, Understanding Video Games. This MOOC is a thorough overview of theory pertaining to video game media. Participants “learn how to study games and engage in informed discussions about them.”
Understanding Video Games was led by Digital Humanities researcher Sean Gouglas and developed with the help of world renowned video game developer, BioWare Corp, located in Edmonton, Alberta.
