Contents
This course is a continuation of Esports 1, 2 and 3 and gives increasingly more insight into the gaming world and how to optimize the experience. Now we focus on the importance of understanding transferable skills in a wider context and how we can create learning scenarios using Esports in a controlled setting. Students will gain hands-on experience coaching or teaching others in Esports and helping develop transferable skills through practice.
The course also adds to the programming skills acquired in the previous semesters, with a group design project that marries the theoretical aspects of programming with a physical game design task.
