My client's request
My mother works for South Essex College and teaches Hospitality to students’ age 16-18 years. She wanted to be able to teach her students the topic of ‘the lifestyle of a stock item’ (In this case the stock item being a potato), in a fun and enjoyable way to encourage their learning and to use the game as a resource the students can use in their own time to practice and develop. My client requested that I design an interactive game which acts as a learning device to help give the students gain a clear understanding of particular business studies topics.
My aim
Overall my aim is to create a professional, enjoyable and functioning learning game that allows students to interact with the computer. It will allow my client to teach in a fun and interesting way due to animation, sound, in-depth questions and interaction facilities. I intend to finish the project by February 2012 which will give me enough time to plan, create and test my game to ensure it meets my client’s requirements and does the job I hoped it would achieve. I have listened to my client and understood the problem my client is facing and have tried to overcome this through my plans for the interactive game. To give an idea of the overall costs of the project (the needed equipments) I have projected the costs of the equipment I will need to set-up the program. I have also started to sketch rough initial designs of the programs key features and layout so that both my client and myself have an idea of the finished outcome.
