Overview

Creating Universes with Designer XI is a complete learning system consisting of a thorough book and a professionally designed computer-based training application. The system is completely dedicated to teaching you how to become a competent universe designer. Readers learn how to create a basic universe and, even more so, how to tackle many of the complications that may arise when designing universes. These topics include chasm traps, fan traps, multi-keyed property tables, double-counting measures, multiple fact tables, and more. Creating Universes with Designer XI is a wonderfully presented book with hundreds of large graphics, large fonts, and room for notes on every page. The topics are presented in a very smooth and organized manner, which makes the book very easy to learn from. The Creating Universes with Designer XI computer-based training CBT contains hours of interactive video instruction on over 80 different topics. Each topic discusses or demonstrates important aspects of universe design. The CBT interface is innovative and user-friendly, allowing students to browse chapter folders to locate topic icons. Students simply click on a topic icon to view and listen to a video. This interaction allows the CBT to be both a great trainer and a complete reference. Many people will find that this CBT is actually better than attending a class. In addition to the book and CBT, the CD contains an Adobe Acrobat presentation that allows the material to be presented in a classroom environment. Imagine teaching a class where each student gets a book and a CBT! The after-class support will be minimal, because each student will have plenty of reference material.
