I'm studying BSc Business Information Technology at London South Bank University. It has been around for nearly 10 years now. There is an MSc available too...[1]
At an undergraduate level we study, at length, Systems Analysis, Information Architecture , Dynamic Programming languages (ASP, PHP) alongside Usability and HCI. An initial question I have, with regard to an MA in Web Development, is whether a scientific approach should be taken (in the form of an MSc) or whether a an artistic/design approach should be taken (in the form of an MA). Personally, if dealing with web 'development' then a scientific approach would be desired. I think this might be a matter of debate though, given the current and ever evolving landscape of web development and the fact is is still an emerging discipline in many respects, as has been mentioned regarding standards. I think that the subject of Web Development is an extremely exciting one and one and one that I could be persuaded to pursue. However, I feel, given its rapid evolution and emergence, any course structure that is agreed upon could potentially be outdated by the time it comes to teaching it... Maybe in true spirit of the collaborative nature of Web 2.0 this course could be structured and administered through wikis and taught in an open-source way... Given the webs emergence from academia. But that I fear, is maybe a pipe-dream... Thoughts?? Regards, Marius Milcher [1] LSBU BIT Course info http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/bcim/progs/bit/ ---------------------------------------------- Marius G.
