Earlier this month, representatives from tech firms in and
around Silicon Beach convened for the second time to weigh in on the
classes that will shape Santa Monica College’s four-year program in
interaction design. The advisory board’s input is one facet of a process that
will yield a landmark opportunity at the local community college, which
views the bachelor’s degree as a way to prepare students for in-demand
jobs in the growing field of digital user experience. Officials are making tweaks to the drafted curriculum and
developing application materials for the IxD program, which they hope to
have up and running by next fall. The new upper-division classes will
complement the existing coursework that comprises the school’s
associate’s degree in graphic design...
While we wish Santa Monica College well, this change in the division of labor between the three segments of the Master Plan was undertaken via a whim of the legislature. No planning. Nothing like what went into the original deliberations.
