DM30 in Spring 09 will provide an educational experience where students will work as team members to produce an interactive product that includes a “serious” game for educational and/or social value. Software skills will cover a full range of media development tools for graphics, audio, video, and animation. Students’ role in the team environment will be aligned with their major areas of study at CR.
CR is serious about serious games!
