SUMMARY:Board/Card Game Design - Expansions
DESCRIPTION:Ever played a board game and thought it was missing something? That you could make it better? In this class\, each group will pick an existing board game and develop an Expansion Pack that extends or modifies the rules. \nThe first session we will be talking about principles of game design\, picking groups\, and playing board games. The second will be focused on designing the expansions (with some materials provided). The final session will give groups an opportunity to complete their expansion and play-test each other’s games.

SUMMARY:Experience Design Workshop: Taught by Razorfish
DESCRIPTION:Nadya Direkova MIT Alum\, Senior Information Architect\, Razorfish; Generoso Fierro \nBuying e-tickets\, downloading a song\, chatting with friends on Facebook… you live through digital experiences every day. We invite you to learn how these experiences can be designed so that you can easily find and do what you want. Whether you are an engineer or designer\, this course will challenge you to start work by studying users – not technology – first. We’ll talk about user personas\, their moment-by-moment decisions and their full lifecycle relationship with your design. In the first part of the course\, we’ll present classic design practices\, digital trends and analyze experiences that work well and those that don’t. In the second part\, you will create a design document for a website of digital campaign. The class will end with a design competition.

SUMMARY:Designing Serious Video Games for Autism Research and Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Matthew Belmonte \nWhy use video games to do science? Well\, if you’ve ever participated in a psychology experiment\, you probably don’t remember it as being particularly entertaining! This is bad for all concerned\, the scientist isn’t going to get good data unless the subject is engaged with the task. My research group is answering this challenge by embedding experiments in a video game which we use to study autism. I’ll discuss the player-centred\, event-driven design philosophy behind the game\, talk about how neuroscientists and game designers work interactively to make the game relevant to people with autism spectrum conditions\, and describe our goals for making the game a platform not only to measure autistic cognitive skills\, but also to facilitate autistic cognitive skills by removing barriers to their expression.

SUMMARY:Making Deep Games: An inspirational workshop about harnessing the power of metaphors for experience design
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, attendees will learn how to become more conscious about the mechanisms of complex abstract concepts\, to pin down their evasive elements\, to translate them into concrete rule sets and to make them tangible via procedural metaphors. This workshop aims at demystifying complex abstract ideas such as HONOR\, REGRET\, LOYALTY or JUSTICE by teaching a methodology to analyse and dissect them. It is a step-by-step tutorial to foster awareness\, reflection\, inspiration and a systematic approach to the purposeful design of deep games.

SUMMARY:PULSE: American Music and Poetry from 1950 to 1970
DESCRIPTION:This is a two-hour single session designed to discuss the parallel relationships between the American music and poetry from the 1950s to 70s. \nBy the early fifties\, as part of the postwar development of consumer society\, a strange pulse had set in the music scene to bring about muzak or elevator music. As if to reflect this new trend\, poets such as Robert Lowell and John Berryman started to write\, almost on the same pulse\, quasi-sonnet sequences. \nIn the late sixties\, a more experimental type of pulse music was invented by such composers as Terry Riley and Steve Reich to be later labeled as minimalism. Again\, the poetry caught up due to the efforts of John Ashbery and A. R. Ammons who wrote deliberately monotonous and distinctly open-ended sequences. \nSome excerpts of poems will be read\, some parts of music heard.

SUMMARY:"Translation" in Transmediation: Exploring the Metaphor
DESCRIPTION:Transferring narratives from one medium to another is often either likened to the process of translation or just plainly called translation\, the latter being used as a synonym to “transmediation”. During this two-hour class with Ksenia Prassolova\, we will concentrate on further exploring this metaphor; by looking at the key translation techniques we will try to understand how to better tell our stories across media.

SUMMARY:Noir: The Shorthand Guide...
DESCRIPTION:Noir … Hollywood’s response to the breakdown and reworking of longstanding representational codes appeared with the use of anti-heros\, inverted narrative structure\, gritty urban realism\, and stories set at night. This departure from normative cultural practice largely coincided with related developments in music (bebop)\, painting (abstract expressionism)\, and other expressive forms. This session will briefly look at Film Noir’s roots in German Romanticism and Expressionism\, its relationships with contemporary arts\, and its successors in contemporary film culture. This heavily illustrated session will offer a primer to one of the most important moments in America’s film history.
