A Character Is Born

Welcome, Visitor! All who choose to devote their lives to adventuring in the world of games and learning must first Re-Quest access to the IDT 545 course portal itself! Search for the IDT 545 course in eZ and request access to the course. If you have not yet an account in eZ, create one--IDT Bootcamp has details on how to do this and more if you have forgotten the process! Once you have done this, return here to complete this stage.

No adventure can begin without a hero, unnamed one, and that's you! But how shall you be known? Choose a name, so that your adventures can be chronicled for the ages! Update your profile in this site so that your Display Name reflects the name you have chosen for your character, then return here to claim your reward!

So we know you now as Visitor, but what skills do you have? You must choose a character class, for though you have no skills now, should you somehow survive, your choice of character class will play a significant role in determining your skills by game's end. Research the benefits of each character class in the course syllabus and decide which suits you. Here is some additional information:

  • Healers focus on games for health
  • Warriors focus on violence, aggression, and games
  • Monks focus on games for social change
  • Mages focus on games for teaching

Now we know your name and your class, but none will recognize you without a face to go by! Create an icon for your character that includes an image and your name. You should have one version that 120 x 120 pixels, and another that is 60 x 60 pixels as a png or jpeg. Upload both to claim your reward for this quest! Feel free to use game character images in this stage!
