Teaching Fetac Level 5, Games Studies, Games Analysis & Design. I have been teaching this course so that students have a better understanding and knowledge of the complexities of game production, experience design, user centered design, level design, design mechanisms, morphological analysis, system design, content design, game writing, character creation, audio design and gameplay. By using a variety of software packages, Unity 3D & GameSalad amongst other things, the students are able to take ludological theories and practises and express themselves by designing and manufacturing a game from brief to satisfactory final concept. By placing a strong emphasis on assessment for learning, peer and self assessment throughout the courses this enables the students to develop communication, judgement and team working skills amongst other practical skills used in the gaming industry.
