I had used reference managers foryears, but each had limitations such as cost, portability, and searching. All the referencemanagers are great for what they were designed to do: collect information into a database tocreate citations. Beyond that they vary in their features for notetaking, highlighting articles, etc.After conducting research at three different institutions with licenses for three different

This class combined a “humanities” viewpoint ofvideo game design (e.g. gaming psychology, theory of fun) with the “technical” side of computerprogramming and physics engines. Students compared and contrasted two games and wrote acritical analysis of a game. The majority of the class was spent conceptualizing, planning andcreating a video game. Groups learned the required programming skills as needed to implementtheir vision. Students completed a survey at the conclusion of the course. Generally, students foundthe course exercised their creative skills, motivated them to learn more programming and providedthem experience in project management.Keywordsvideo games, computer programming, elective
