What sorts of courses would you be most interested in?
« on: June 27, 2012, 04:02:46 PM »
This is just a general discussion thread to find out the following:

- What subjects would you most want to do courses on?
- How much time do you think you'd want to put into courses like this?
- How important is communicating with tutors/other students for you?
- How important would you consider a tutor's qualifications to be when looking at a course?

Well, I'd to a course for modding Morrowind and using the Construction set but I don't think any people here have Morrowind anyway. I would use MSN for lessons maybe once a weak or more. I would think that the better the tutor the more he has to teach us.

I would really like to see courses on creative writing (character creation, scene creation etc.) Also, perhaps coding? I always wanted to learn to code but I never knew how to get started. Biology courses would also interest me, almost every aspect really. Sorry it's a bit vague but I'll happily do anything within these areas and many more!  :)

Khan and I could probably do some lessons on Elder-scrolls modification. If i can be bothered that is :), otherwise it will be just him or it wont happen.

EDIT: He is a lot more dedicated.

Well, Skyrim actually works on your computer so maybe you could do that... or maybe you should just leave it to me. (You don't have much experiance in modding Elderscrols anyway. You've only done it once. -_- )

I'm also familiar with basics of modding TES games (Oblivion and Skyrim). Stuff like adding new npcs, for example, but I'd love to learn more about modding exteriors, rigging, animations, quest cutscenes and creating worldspaces.

I'd also like to host a course about basic/intermediate 3d modeling in Wings 3d (a really simple, but really useful free modelling tool).
But I would need a program which would allow me to show my desktop instead of my face to those who are taking the course.
Any ideas?

I *think* you can do that on Skype, or if you just want to record video then Fraps might work.

Ok, I'd like to host that one.

Basic Wings 3d modelling. That's an appropriate name.

I still got some exams left for Semptember but i might have some free time after that to hold some blender lessons.

I'd also join the morrowind moding but I'm not gonna be home for another 2-3 weeks :(

So you have Morrowind? If so, do you have the two expansion packs as well?

Was just thinking, people not from English speaking countries - courses in the basics of your mother tongue would be quite easy to do potentially.

Oh aye, I'd be interested in doing that. I've got an eye for other languages and find them really interesting.

(Although I'm sort of armadilloe at speaking them. But reading them is doable. :P)
