I totally disagree. I've worked with a few interaction designers that had reputable university degrees specific to interaction design and they were as you say 'worthless'. I asked one what web sites applications etc..she thought were well done and she said she didn't do that. Another had never heard of Tufte. Those were just the 2 examples off the top of my head. I would expect more from any breathing life form that had a pulse and the nerve to throw the title around. In my experience past and current never seeing the people and conveying the message remote is ideal. I've seen more quality from 2 people in sync from a far than entire teams holding 2 weekly whiteboard sessions.
I've learned more from reading your books than anyone ever taught me in class or by example. I would never want to monopolize the work place with my school crownies either. Just my thoughts, nothing personal. I'm taking a relational database theory class online right now and it is way better than any tech class I've ever taken and had to sit and listen to the most often slanted political speech of the instructors personal preferences accompanied by slides. FYI, I was a high school continuation student; but, I was also in geometry when I was in 6th grade. It was all down hill from there. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
