Next: Innovation Tools & Trends An Event Apart Boston: Moving Towards a Web Design Curriculum - BusinessWeek
A lot of what I heard at AEA this time around seemed to speak to the still nascent but growing maturity of web design as a discipline. One major concern? Education. Jeffrey Zeldman hit on this in his conference opener, pointing out how most institutions lack an effective web design curriculum, inviting comparison with other fields by noting, “Teaching Excel is not the same as teaching business.” You can see where this juxtaposition is headed. You’d simply never dream of getting your MBA that way. Yet that’s exactly how most schools handle web design. From an application-driven perspective, focused on tools rather than principles.
