Vote for Assignment Six!

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the great comments so far on your peers’ pass two stories.  The responses I have examined so far have been thoughtful and well-written.  I’m currently considering two options for our final minor assignment:

Option 1: Narratology vs. Ludology debate: the class will be divided into two groups: narratologists and ludologists.  We’ll then have a moderated debate on the importance of narrative design versus gameplay design in virtual worlds and online games.

Option 2: Spec Sheet for Video Game Storyline: students will individually craft storyline ideas for video games based on the Bob Bates reading from last week.  Everyone will write a story idea and then respond to a few peers’ ideas.

I’m setting up a voting forum in WebCT.  Please cast your vote for Option 1 or Option 2 by the end of the day and I’ll post the assignment tomorrow.  Let me know if you have any questions about this process!
