Course Description

This course explores the impact of new media on narrative through a focus on digital games. Beginning with Lord of the Rings Online, a massively multiplayer role playing game (MMO), and indie games such as Braid, Gone Home, and Portal, the course introduces students to the literary and artistic challenges of constructing narratives in a digital environment and the implications of social media for concepts of self and society. In addition to the novels and films of Tolkien, the course looks at a variety of new media, films, and novels about gaming.

Here is a trailer for a virtual reality environment based on Ready Player One that students produced for an earlier version of this class: https://youtu.be/StVIVT0FUZM.

The course has three components:

1. Games. Students will play a selection of indie games and the free-to-play MMO, The Lord of the Rings Online. They will also do collaborative reports on games from diverse genres: first-person shooters, real time role playing games, mobile games, sports games, walking simulators, educational games, etc.
2. Readings.Texts will include literature in the romance tradition that inspired fantasy gaming from Keats, Tennyson, and Browning to J. R. R. Tolkien; novels and films about gaming such as Ernest Cline's Ready Player One; Twitter fiction such as Jennifer Egan's 'Black Box'; media and game theory such as Bolter and Grusin's Remediation: Understanding New Media, Jesper Juul's Half-Real: Video Games between Real Rules and Fictional Worlds, and McKenzie Wark's Gamer Theory.
3. Digital projects. Students will create a blog and use social media platforms to learn how to convey complex arguments in visual, spatial, and audio formats. Assignments will introduce students to visual storytelling tools and video editing software. The final assignment will involve creating a collaborative new media project.

No background in gaming or digital technology is required. Students will learn the theory and practice of new media through demonstrations and hands-on workshops.

WARNING: Lord of the Rings Online is currently not available on recent generation Mac computers. If you are a Mac user but have access to a computer running Windows 7 or later, please plan to use it. We will make an effort to work around the problem for Mac users, but it will help if you can play the game on your own computer. See the full system requirements at https://help.standingstonegames.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002036807-What-are-the-system-requirements-for-LOTRO-).

Learning goals

The course has two broad objectives, one concerning literary culture, the other focused on new media.

1. Literary: To understand the cultural role of romance narrative down through the ages. In practice, this means learning about the roots of many online games in romance literature from Homer's Odyssey and medieval romance to Romantic and Victorian poetry to J.R.R. Tolkien
2. New Media: To become more reflective about the media we experience in every aspect of our lives from film and television to social media to internet memes. In the process, students will develop enhanced skills in media production and analysis.

Course Requirements

(Assignment instructions will appear on Brightspace)

• Quizzes: 30% of the grade
• Blog: 15% of the grade
  • Write a blog post (300-700 words) on any topic you choose as long as it is related to the course. You may use a pseudonym or just your first name, but you must sign the blog in the text. Be sure to file it in one of the Categories from the drop-down menu and tag it with several tags to drive traffic to your post.
  • Rubric:
    • You are not being asked to write a formal, analytic essay. Blog posts are more informal. They highlight the writer's voice and opinion. They often contain personal narratives. If you write on one of the readings, films, or games we have covered, do not analyze them in depth. Instead, tell us something interesting about your experience with them. Feel free to include images and film clips as long as they are in the public domain (anything from Wikipedia or YouTube is fair game, as are images from sites with Creative Commons licenses).
    • Blogs will not be graded on length or mechanics unless major patterns of sloppiness appear.
    • We will use the following questions to guide our grading: Does the author seem deeply engaged with the topic? Is the blog entry thoughtful, creative, offbeat, or humorous? Is the entry coherent and well-suited to its apparent purpose?
  • Blog comments (5%): You must make a substantive, constructive comment on at least one blog post every Thursday by class time except on the week when your group is assigned to write the blogs. Feel free to extend an existing comment thread; as long as your contribution to the thread is substantive, it will count as your comment. You will lose a point for each week that you fail to post a comment–so read and comment on your classmates' blogs!
• Collaborative PowerPoint or video essay presentation: 20% of the grade.
  • Presentations will be evaluated on content, integration of media, and oral performance.
• Collaborative game design or digital project: 20% of the grade
• Participation: 10% of the grade.
  • Participation may be in the form of contributions to live class discussions or by regular posts and comments to the class Discussion board. It will also include activity on the Slack channels created for your collaborative presentation and final project. (Comments on the class blog count for a different portion of your grade.)

Go Home Again.
