After completing the module, student will be able to:
- identify and analyse the key theoretical and epistemological foundations of design research
- understand design research examples in games and internet research
- evaluate different methods in design research
- apply design research methods in games and internet design and research
On this course, we dissect and discuss on academic papers (1-3 articles per session) on game design research, especially with a focus on game design epistemology, including seminal and relevant papers on other fields of design and design theory. Before each session, there is a preliminary task with a deadline. In order to pass the course, students need to meet the deadlines, participate to the sessions and conduct a literature review on pre-determined subjects at the end of the course.
