Teaching language
EnglishRecommended prerequisites
The courses Sports Injuries and Ergonomics, Teams and Performance Culture, Programming 1 and 2 and Entrepreneurship, must be taken in parallel with or before E-sports 4.
Course contents
As with the other practice courses, this course also focusses on playing games and training to become better. However, it is also important to understand how everything is connected and especially how we work when establishing teams and trying to perform on a higher level. This course will focus even more on the full picture of games connected with physical exercise and the danger of injuries.
This course is a continuation of E-sports 1, 2 and 3 and gives increasingly more insight into the gaming world and how to optimize the experience. Now we focus on the importance of team relations and performance as well as the need to avoid injury and how to repair existing injuries. This course also adds to the programming skills acquired in the previous semester.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the course, the students should:
- Have an understanding for common injuries in E-sports and how to prevent them.
- Be able to create teams and understand the processes involved in motivating a team.
- Be able to use programming when solving tasks related to E-sports.
- Understand the business elements involved in creating a company.
- Be able to play at least one game at a higher level.
Teaching methods
The course will be divided into different modules. What they all have in common is a practical approach. Tasks will be practical in nature and the course will also include training sessions and tutoring sessions in different games.
Expected workload for the average student is 270 hours.
