An unusual seminar-style lecture that teaches you how to play starcraft, conducted in Berkeley:
http://academicearth.org/courses/starcr ... d-strategy

Course Description:
This course will go in-depth in the theory of how war is conducted within the confines of the game Starcraft. There will be lecture on various aspects of the game, from the viewpoint of pure theory to the more computational aspects of how exactly battles are conducted. Calculus and Differential Equations are highly recommended for full understanding of the course.
Furthermore, the class will take the theoretical into the practical world by analyzing games and replays to reinforce decision-making skills and advanced Starcraft theory.
As a prerequisite, students should be familiar with all units and some basic StarCraft strategy.
Additional lectures will be added throughout the Spring of 2009 as they are made available.

I think some universities did it first (not sure if it's Starcraft)... it's kinda like a course to some computational theory or something like that. Of course, they focus on the more academic ideas but using SC as a vehicle for delivering the knowledge.

That certainly makes me wonder if NUS will attempt something similar... And I don't mean the NUS Second Life or whatever it was!
