MOOCs in Computer Graphics
(The Eurographics Association, 2016) Bourdin, Jean-Jacques; Beatriz Sousa Santos and Jean-Michel Dischler
Since their first presentations, MOOCs have been advertized as the future of higher education as well as a solution against the increase of tuition fees. This panel is introduced by an experiment of MOOCs in Computer Graphics. Our purpose is to give some material to encourage the audience to discuss the opportunity of a common material for teaching Computer Graphics.
A Video Games Technologies Course: Teaching, Learning, and Research
(The Eurographics Association, 2016) Amador, Gonçalo; Gomes, Abel; Beatriz Sousa Santos and Jean-Michel Dischler
In the last decade, several higher education institutions began to provide courses and/or degrees in games content creation, games design, and games development, largely because of the astonishing growth of games as one of the most powerful industries worldwide. This paper presents the course entitled “Video Games Technologies”, including its history, goals and methodology, as part of a MSc degree in Computer Science and Engineering. The focus is on the technologies, techniques, algorithms, data structures, and mathematics behind the design and development of game engines, instead of games themselves.
