TU Dublin will be hosting a virtual weekend Game Jam starting from Friday 25th February 2022 at 10 to Sunday 27th at 23:59. The purpose of this Game Jam is to develop educational games for use in language learning. Besides being a bit of online fun, some of other benefits of participating are:
- Prizes – yeah!
- Meeting students from other campuses
- Showcase your work (winning games will be used by learners at www.LanguagesPathways.ie and will be available on itch.io)
Your options
- You can participate in the Game Jam, have fun, and claim 15 points on Moodle!
- You can participate in the Game Jam and then spend time in week 6 writing a reflective blog post about your experience and learning. This should detail the process followed over the weekend. If you can show full participation in the project and reflection on the process through your blog posts you will receive an additional 35 points and this will fulfil your project requirement for this module. See documentation instructions for further details on this.
- There is no requirement to participate in the Game Jam
