Summary:
|
The District's Educational Services Department has made recommendations for updates in our district-wide course catalog. We are submitting a new Career Technical Education(CTE) course in the Games and Simulation Pathway 175 titled RCOE Advanced Game Scripting. This course is pending meeting the A-G requirement of "F."
RCOE Advanced Game Scripting allows students to work in teams to develop games or simulations. Students will learn skills such as storyboarding, plot, flow, and using functions. Learning how to implement standard game/simulation strategy and rules of play, as well as integrating mixed media appropriate to the game design/simulation, will be included. Other topics include design specifications, delivery, rules of play, navigation functionality, scoring, and other special features.
Throughout this course, students will work in teams, channeling their creativity to master the art of storytelling, storyboarding, plot construction, and narrative flow. Proficiency in scripting techniques, with a focus on using functions to enhance interactivity, will be a cornerstone of this course. Students will explore the implementation of standard game design, emphasizing the creation and application of rules of play for an optimal user experience. The integration of mixed media elements will be emphasized to add depth and richness to game design. Design specifications, encompassing aesthetics, functionality, and user engagement, will be thoroughly addressed. The course will also cover effective delivery mechanisms, navigation functionality, scoring systems, and the incorporation of special features to elevate the overall gaming experience. Students will also be able to put their computer programming knowledge towards business, science, and mathematics.
This course is a year-long course and is intended for grade twelve students only. Students must have completed Intermediate Game Scripting with a passing grade to be enrolled in this course. Students will receive Visual and Performing Arts credits. If the student's VAPA credits have been fulfilled, they may receive Elective credits. This course has been credentialed for a CTE Information and Communication Technology or Single Subject: Business Industrial and Technology Education instructor.
The above courses have been approved by the Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services.
