My lastest podcast is with Andy Budd, the User Experience (UX) designer, CEO of Clearleft and author of CSS Mastery. I’d found Andy’s blog interesting, particularly some of his polemical pieces on how UK University design courses were out of date (see How to break into User Experience Design | June 10, 2011). Andy and I discussed a number of themes around this, including:

  • How he came into web design
  • What is UX design and why it’s important to him
  • How does education in general, and academic specifically, keep up with rapid technological change
  • What role do academics and industry have to play in the teaching of more vocational courses
  • What role the teaching of critical reflection/creative problem solving has to play versus more practical skills
  • Whether entrepreneurship/entrepreneurial thinking should be taught as part of design courses
  • What’s next for him
