What is a course ?
Courses at CHI PLAY should allow participants to learn new hands-on knowledge about player-game interaction, development, and evaluation. They are great opportunities for industry pros and games researchers to teach their knowledge to an interested audience and allow interdisciplinary knowledge development between practitioners and researchers. If you work or research in the games domain and are eager to teach a course at CHI PLAY, we look forward to your submission. Courses will run over one half or a full day on Sunday, October 16th.
For example, a course could:
- Provide a substantial overview of state of the art research or a technology area
- Introduce practitioners to emerging areas, new technologies, or methods within games research
- Create opportunities to learn new techniques for use in research or practice
- Provide master-level classes for experienced CHI PLAY attendees
- Provide advanced instruction in tools, technologies, or methods
