Editor's Notes
- First, thank you to Aaron and Josh for the invite. I picked up on Work in the Web because the curriculum seemed almost identical to what we are trying to achieve with our new final year unit, Agency Ready. Interim title – web design?
- Better reflects some of our problems teaching 'web design'
- About me, briefly. Musician, mature library student, www, teaching
- Prepared Timed to perfection
- Students Recruitment - How many 16/17 know or understand about the job, web developer? Type of students (coder, designer, programmer, project manager, UX, marketer) – example – digital marketing Our students – not art school, not computing (example Mike, Jen, James, John) – foundation, 2 x mature
- Range of students that we encounter Examples – beginner may raise themselves towards professional Sometime they never will Distractions – life, work
- Describing our students Abid in the middle Some times in the middle means neither of these skills.
- And then there is another scale Disinterested doesn't always = bad, often means distracted
- Issues faced in delivering the 'right' curriculum. Right for industry, right for our students
- Where does 'web design' sit?
- Multi-disciplinary field Do students need all of these skills? understanding? Otherwise isn't it just click this, click that teaching?
- The problem with teaching web design. Changes, standards, browsers, trends, opinions, fashion.
- What's on offer? We have one of the best employability records in MMU. Direct calls from employers. Not enough graduates.
- Direction for the students. Kevin. IT graduates.
- Skills gap on starting. Agency Ready Internships Summer work.
- How we try to deal with these issues.
- Academic work, some level on which to assess Role of client – you deliver what we require – we pay.
