Potential Video Game History Class Proposal...need some help

swlovinist

I recently started working part time at a local community college teaching part time.  I am researching to further explore what other community colleges have been offering for video game history classes as a potential to possibly promote one to instruct.  If anyone has a link to a video game history syllabus or knows of a college that offers a course in video games, that would be most appreciated.

I took a couple video game development classes at Santa Monica College in So Cal. The professors name was David Javelosa. Although he was a game development teacher he teaches a ton of classes there. He's been in the business for awhile as well so I'm sure he knows a lot about the history of video gaming. Here is one of his course outlines for 2D game prototyping.

Neat idea. Teaching an NES programming class would be awesome.

If you do an NES programing class, put it online for us to learn as well



They used to teach Java Games Programming at the school I went to. It's not a bad idea, but the literature we used is 15 years outdated http://www.amazon.com/Black-Art-Java-Game-Programming/dp/1571690433

Thought that is what the Nerdy Nights threads were for? I know I learned a lot from those online instructions...
