I think this is the only way it is going to happen if you actually get lecturers willing in their own time to learn and implement the standards into the courses. From my experience majority of the lecturers ive meet would not do that!
Actually, the whole point of these discussions is that the changes are coming from the top - the course material is being changed (changes coming in this year) and the lecturers are *required* to get their skills up to date in order to teach it. And it's not going to be an "in their own time" thing - it is part of their professional development. TAFEs in Western Australia are very concerned about teaching what the industry expects - and they realise that in the field of IT they are being left behind. I know it's not happening everywhere, but my example shows a small area where things are being improved. -- Kay Smoljak business: www.cleverstarfish.com standards: kay.zombiecoder.com coldfusion: kay.smoljak.com personal: goatlady.wordpress.com ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
