[game_edu] Unity Workshop Curriculum?

[Ali Arya]

Hi Bill,

 

Thanx for sharing the information.

 

I used Unity in my game design course last fall in combination with XNA, and
I'm planning to upgrade to Unity Pro and have more focus on that instead of
XNA for fall 2011. Your experience will be greatly helpful to me. I will
look into Noesis Interactive. The educational discount I could get from
unity was 80% for more than 20 licenses. Were you able to get something
better through N.I.? Yearly subscription for D3 itself is 180 but I assume
that's individual.

 

Best,

Ali Arya

Beth,

I don't have a direct curriculum to teach Unity, but Unity is the
environment for my advanced game design students. The students use the
training modules at design3.com, which are quite extensive, to learn the
technology. This frees up class time for discussion of game design concepts,
programming in C# and JavaScript vis-a-vis the Unity object model, directed
lab work and project critiques. This is my first semester using this method,
so I can't tell you how successful or problematic it will be.

Noesis Interactive is a Unity partner. They were able to help us with both
Unity Pro licensing and in discounted rates on the video training.

It is humbling almost to the point of despair to discover that 15 dozen
screenfuls of ponderous commentary produced by a small liberal-arts faculty
worth of beardy gamer geeks can, with almost zero loss of insight, be
reduced to the three panels of a Penny Arcade cartoon.

Hey everyone!

I was wondering if anyone has curriculum that includes Unity in a
workshop setting. I am aware of bountiful resources online, but I'm
hoping for something more specific to a workshop format for reference.
Even an outline of what is taught would be helpful. I'm working on
well-rounded curriculum for a two-week intensive workshop for high
school students transitioning into university. It not only includes
Unity, but also art, animation, design, sound, and other aspects.
