Description
This course introduces students to strategies and methodologies to design, implement, and utilize in-game data collection points to be used for analytics, statistics, and research data. We will discuss data modeling and research data collection and design in relation to interactive media specifically, where understanding the goals of the final game analysis informs the design of the in-game collection as well as the selection and analysis of the resulting datasets. Students will discuss game title case studies, create datasets, design game variables suites based on research and model needs, while also learning how to analyze collected data.
