Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
It is a theoretical/practical course that combines expository interventions of the programme contents with the elaboration of hardware-software package exercises necessary for the production of video games and tangible controller accessible to people with intellectual disabilities. The project is developed in collaboration with partners in the field of intellectual disability (ID) and culture, with several validation/testing phases with clients of the partner institution in the field of ID. The project can be developed from scratch in the semester, but ideally continues the contents developed in the Tangible Interfaces II course.
