A List Apart: Articles: Elevate Web Design at the University Level: "We need to connect educators and practicing professionals through web and educational conferences. We need to encourage conversation between local web professionals and higher educational institutions."
Institutions risk becoming irrelevant if they are not in touch with the needs of industry and the workplace.
I'm very glad that my program - The Master's of Instructional Technology at UNCW - has a strong tie to and focus on job preparation. They do this through genuine, authentic projects which are featured in every course. And, interaction and involvement from community members and alumni.
It's my hope that they drive further with this philosophy and increase the community involvement. There aren't alot of examples of this and I hope they take their rightful position of leadership in affecting positive change in the industry and school.
