Recently some of the team members had a journal article published which focuses on an innovative, cross-disciplinary teaching experience at the University. Students in computing designed prototype educational games based on the needs of students in other subjects. Participants were interviewed to understand the pros and cons of this approach. Given the recent discussions around encouraging employability opportunities for our students outside of placements, we thought this might be of interest to some readers.

The article abstract and full text (SHU staff should have access via our subscription) are available at:
