Serious gaming is exploding. In this virtual class, you will learn how to build custom characters, create multiple levels, keep score, create a timer, etc. By the end, you will construct a full game from concept to working prototype. This class focuses more on the "why" of game development than the "how", all with the ease of use of online platforms. “Logical reasoning” is the key.
Since learning has moved online the ability to develop serious games is an accessible form of learning and fun. Learning how to create in a simple drag and drop environment is already being used in the game industry. Coding is great, but “logical reasoning” is part of the AI and of your future - the Internet of Things. Let’s start answering the “why” - the “how” is so 20th century.

Aievoli, Patrick

Since 1986 Patrick Aievoli has been immersed in the use of design technology and has observed the pendulum swing from technology based to knowledge based design. His teaching philosophy has evolved and morphed as the user base has become more sophisticated to reflect those changes. During a lesson or project patrick always tries to bring outside considerations into the mix well before pencil goes to paper or mouse to pixel. Having been fortunate enough to have taught and create interaction design projects even before it had a name Patrick has learned the value of critical thinking over the focus on technologies - technologies change – critical thinking continues. Patrick has 18 years of experience teaching design and digital technologies at the undergraduate and graduate level, directing a Master’s program in college Interaction Design programs. He’s taught at Long Island University, SUNY Farmingdale, and USDAN Center for the Arts.
