Flash vs Director in HCI Courses
The Human Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) at Carnegie Mellon still teaches a number of classes in Macromedia Director. Since I just graduated from the masters program I decided to petition the department to consider replacing instruction in Director with Macromedia Flash. My argument was based on four points:
Why Flash over Director in HCII Courses?
1. It’s better for students
Smaller files
More programmable
Easier to use
2. More people can view it
3. More designers/programmers use it
4. There are more jobs available for it
Click through to read my full argument. At least one faculty member was swayed so I’m hopefully we may see some change.
