Introduction
Course overview.
Introduction to tools:
Blender3D, Inform 7, Cam Studio (Windows exe; supporting files) and and Flash.
The first three are open source software (free for anyone to use). Flash is an expensive commercial product that is available in several computer labs at SHU.
If you're curious,

In-Class Activity

Ex 1-1: Goals Statement
What are your goals for each segment of the course? Research each tool online, write a brief paragraph in response to each tool, and provide a synthesizing conclusion. About 500 words. (Informal prose and bulleted lists are OK.)
