Technology

For this module we'll be working with a lot of new technology and websites that we have had little to no experience with so far in this course, such as Unity, Automotivator, Cheezburger etc. however we are familiar with Padlet and Canvas as we've used them for prior projects.

The online environment for this module is completely different to anything that we've experienced so far in the course. usually we solely use Moodle to submit assignments and the lecturers would grade each piece of work, but with this module its up to us to grade our own work. We also use a variety of sites, including Moodle but also featuring sites like Blogger and our very own CDM Multimedia Development site, this way we don't build experience working experience working solely with Moodle but also with a wide variety of different websites.

In terms of skills that i'd like to build up this semester, i'd love to work with and learn to use the Unity game editor as well as a variety of other game editors/engines if possible. I like the concept of making video games and hope to do something related to it in the future, so getting some experience with that kind of technology is really appealing to me.
