Self paced Video Game and VR class

[Barbara Mikolajczak]

If you are enjoying tonight's class - you might also want to take a new self-paced online course at Boston College. The new "Video Games and Virtual Reality"  course is entirely self-paced (it's online, and you take it at your own pace; there is no weekly meeting for Video Games and Virtual Reality ).

The course description (below) says that it's available through "SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT" -- all you have to do is let them know that you would like to take this class and you can  "get in" to it.

The course poster is at http://web3deducation.com/bc/MT35801/posters/web/ and below is the catalog entry for the College of Advancing Studies.

To take this course you can call Advancing Studies at 617-552-3900 or visit McGuinn Hall #100 (Advancing Studies offices).
