Workshop+Assignment

Homework for November 5, 2011
Please take materials to work on your game after the workshop. If you need additional materials, please contact us and we’ll do what we can to get them for you. Please email those requests to: computergaming@lccc.edu .

Today you will have a list of all workshop participants and their contact information. Feel free to collaborate with each other about your games.

**Assignment**: Using what you have learned this week, please create an educational game (most likely board game or card game, but you're welcome to use other ideas) relating to your subject area that allows you to playtest it with your students and refine it when you return to school in the fall.

We are very comfortable with you working together on this assignment. We do want you to each have a game of your own but they need not be completely unique. Several of you might start with the same design then refine it as you test it with the students. The design may change for each of you or it may remain relatively the same. Either one is fine for this assignment. If you do collaborate on the same design, please share results with each other prior to the November 5 gathering to compare thoughts and results. This may aid you in your refinements.

We will gather to share our results. Game design is a journey and there is always something that can be done to improve a game. We expect that you will have parts of the game that work well and you consider a success and other parts that are not working as well as you like and need further adjustments going into the November 5 meeting date. That is fine with us.
 * On November 5, 2011 ** (agenda will be sent closer to the date):

**Intellectual Property**: The NSF, LCCC, and Google do __NOT__  make claims to your intellectual property from this workshop. It is yours if you design alone or your team’s if you collaborate. We hope you look toward publishing your game at some point.


 * Thanks for your wonderful, dedicated work this week! We enjoyed meeting all of you and working with you. We will take your evaluations seriously and thank you for your feedback. We can’t wait to see your games in November! **
