The Year of the Plague game
Here's a project that you might find exciting ...
In my online game design program the students are creating an educational video game called "The Year of the Plague". This is a PC based video game to played multiplayer in a PC lab or online multiplayer offsite.
The gameplay is: you start the game in the center of London in 1666. You must escape to the St. Giles area without catching the plague. In order to play, you must intensively study Defoe's "A Journal of the Plague Year".
Course delivery/curriculum activities for the game are being designed for single session small group (50 minutes) and also semester long "hero's journey" student team campaigns.
The prototype will be ready in August.
The subject matter expert is Dr. Corey Marvin, a Professor of English at Cerro Coso. His specialty is medieval literature.
We're looking for faculty that are interested in beta testing next Fall ...
