[game_edu] Ad Hoc committee

[Mark Baldwin]

Hi,

 

(Note, I'm on board ship at the same conference as Susan.  We are sailing
off the coast of Cuba as I write this, and yes the ship has Internet,
although it is expensive.   Just talked to her and she's prepping for a
presentation on the IGDA framework in a couple of hours).

 

I would like to put my two cents here.   I don't think the IGDA has the
resources to accomplish accreditation, and there are a number of big and
scary problems associated with such accreditation that have been brought up
by a number of individuals.  But I do like Scott's comments on  the idea of
a published checklist that gives the prospective customer a framework from
which to ask questions and make their own evaluations.   This is a much more
manageable goal, and one I believe could be effective yet flexible.  It
allows the prospective student to evaluate the school not based on a fixed
criteria but instead on what the customer is interested in.

 

I would encourage looking in that direction.

 

Cheers,

Mark
