COM 4350 Professionalization of Play
(formerly NMD 4350)
The ascendancy of gaming as a mainstream, professional endeavor offers opportunities that require new media skill sets and acute awareness of contemporary issues, debates and controversies endemic to this industry. Students will learn media production skills, practices, and ethics related to careers in Esports, live-streaming, machinima, games journalism, game design and more. This course readies students for video game careers outside of production alone through immersive and hands-on learning experiences. Student work will culminate in an e-portfolio of their own design showcasing their skills as a games professional.
