Here are some links I found related to using Microsoft’s XNA Game Platform in the classroom to teach game programming. My goal when searching for this information was to find a 2 year college using game programming to teach business software development skills.
Since most students are more familiar with video games then order fulfillment, distribution centers, and accounting, my thinking is through the problems encountered in game development students can learn the skills required for business application development.
If anyone has any comments about this or information on who might be working on curriculum along these lines please share them by posting a comment.
