Teaching Resources for Risk Management for Video Game Professionals

Lecturer Sample Pack for Academic Staff

Introduction​

This page provides academic staff with a structured suite of teaching resources that support the delivery of production and risk management content within game development, computing, and interactive media programmes. The materials are designed to reduce lecturer workload, improve student outcomes in team projects, and align with recognised learning outcomes in the United Kingdom, Europe, North America, Australia, and global online institutions.

​

Overview
This page provides access to the Lecturer Sample Pack for Risk Management for Video Game Professionals. It is designed for course leaders, module convenors and teaching staff who are considering using the book and associated resources in their curriculum.

​

The pack does not contain the full teaching materials. Instead, it offers representative samples so that you can evaluate structure, depth, and teaching approach before adoption.

​

What the Lecturer Sample Pack Contains
The Lecturer Sample Pack is a curated subset of the full resource library. It focuses on helping you answer three questions:

  • What does teaching this material actually look like week to week?

  • How well does it align with existing modules in production, project management or game design?

  • What concrete artefacts do I receive if I adopt this as a core text?

 

Included samples cover:​

​

  1. Instructor Sample Slides (PPT)​​

    • A representative sample of lecture slides drawn from the full 12-week teaching framework. These slides demonstrate tone, structure, and academic approach, and are suitable for inspection or example use.
       

  2. Educator Notes (PDF)

    • An overview document for lecturers explaining how the book and its associated materials fit into semester-based teaching.

    • Includes:

      • Teaching philosophy

      • 12-week module outline

      • Pedagogical intent

      • Integration guidance​
         

  3. Assessment Specification (PDF)

    • A complete example assessment model aligned to the book and teaching framework.   

    • Includes:

      • Learning outcomes

      • Assessment structure

      • Evidence requirements

      • Marking criteria

    • The specification is designed to be adapted to local institutional regulations.​
       

  4. Sample Book Chapter (PDF)

    • A draft sample of Chapter 3 from the book, focusing on risk identification. Provided to demonstrate writing style, depth, and alignment with teaching materials.

​​How to Use this Pack as an Educator

  • Review the sample slides to gauge teaching load per session and level of assumed prior knowledge

  • Compare the module outline with your existing course map to identify overlap and gaps

  • Use the sample assessment brief and criteria to benchmark against your current marking schemes

  • Share the pack internally with relevant colleagues (programme leads, quality assurance, external examiners where appropriate)

 

What Is Available Beyond the Sample Pack
The full Lecturer Resource Suite builds on the samples in this pack and is designed for adoption at module or programme level. It includes:

  • Full slide decks for each week or chapter

  • Editable versions of all toolkits and templates

  • Extended assignment briefs and alternative assessment options

  • Suggested marking schemes and indicative rubrics

  • Additional case study notes linked to specific chapters

  • Access to updates as the risk landscape and industry examples evolve

 

Access to the full suite is available to:

  • Confirmed adopters using the book as a key or core text

  • Programme leaders embedding the course in undergraduate or postgraduate provision

  • Approved partners delivering specialist game production or game business modules

 

Next Steps and Access
If you find the samples align with your teaching needs, the next steps are:

​

  • Confirm where the module will sit in your programme (year, semester, credit weighting)

  • Share the outline with your course approval or validation contacts

  • Contact the author (that's me) to request full lecturer resources and adoption support

  • Discuss optional guest lectures, workshops or industry sessions where useful

​

If you require a tailored variant (for example, a compressed 6-week block or a postgraduate-level emphasis on portfolio or strategic risk), you can note this when requesting full access.
