About the Course

Understanding Video Games is an 11-lesson course teaching a comprehensive overview of analytical theory pertaining to video game media. 

Video games are a globally entrenched entertainment medium that entertains, informs and challenges us. These games are defined by, and define our modern culture. 

In this course, students will learn how to study games and engage in informed discussions about them. Ultimately, this course is about understanding the literacy of video games.  

Understanding Video Games was created with the help of world renowned video game developer, BioWare Corp, located in Edmonton, Alberta.

 

The link provides more details on the contents of the course including an outline of the lessons.  I think this would be on interest to people on here.  The course is free for the general public.

Aye. I've seen a few times where people on this board were itching to either get in the industry, or even apply into BioWare itself. This could be pretty handy, all things considered. Also worth noting:

I took a couple classes in making video games when I was in college. I would rather play them now instead of make since making them is a pain in the arse.
