Intro to Game Design Course from MIT Game Lab
I've just signed up for Introduction to Game Design at edX, and I think it'll definitely be of some interest to some of the people here. It's targeted at people with little or no game design experience, but I feel it's always a good thing to see how others do things, even if you don't go through with the entire course.
