Computer game-loving students could be in luck after a university started offing a course where they can get credit for playing.The University of Florida has revealed an eight-week course entitled which requires students play the online game Starcraft.
It's claimed by instructor Nathaniel Poling just playing the game improves "Critical thinking, problem solving, resource management, and adaptive decision making".
But "21st century Skills in Starcaft" will also include viewing and analysis of recorded matches, written assignments and collaboration with other students.
Suddenly we feel (slightly) less guilty about spending so long playing Time Crisis when we were meant to be studying.
