As someone who wants to pursue a graduate degree in interaction design, I'd like to say that I could only imagine something like design being taught in a studio/lecture environment. As a person with an education background, in-person education is optimal.
Giving the concept some thought, while it's probably not the best way to learn something as kinesthetic as interaction design, I think to throw out the baby with the bathwater with the blanket statement of "only in the classroom", imo, is unfair. I mean, isn't a large part of what we do as interaction designers to make interactions thought impossible on the web or computer possible? Perhaps, instead of saying that it's just not possible and to forget about it, we should be brainstorming ways to make learning something like interaction design online a plausible (maybe even preferred) experience...? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
