Interface Design and Development for Mobile Devices

随着互联网的发展，为不同类型的场所和应用程序创建数字内容的熟练工人的需求也在增长。这就产生了对学生和教职员工在编程、界面设计和移动应用程序开发方面的变化进行教育的需求，以满足伊利诺伊州和芝加哥及其周边县对移动设计应用程序领域训练有素的专业人员的明显需求。移动设备的界面设计和开发项目将为麦克亨利郡学院的新证书和学位课程开发课程和教育材料。该项目的目标是1)培养移动开发和设计领域的新生和在职工人，以解决该领域缺乏熟练技术人员的问题；以及2)向教育界提供移动界面设计、可用性和营销方面的专业发展。计算机和数字媒体教师将寻求培训，并利用他们的专业知识开发一个在新兴的移动设备界面设计和开发领域具有强大智力优势的新的创新项目。更广泛的影响包括满足商业和行业需求，产生更多训练有素的劳动力，并帮助满足界面设计和移动应用程序开发方面对训练有素的技术人员的需求。通过与地区高中合作，提供初级编程课程作为双学分，麦克亨利县学院将加强新兴领域训练有素的个人的渠道。完成该项目的学生将获得移动设备界面设计和开发方面的证书或学位，为他们就业做好准备。除了开发一个网站，供其他学院查阅新开发的教材和视频外，该项目还将通过TeachingTechnicians.org和会议演示文稿进行传播。教职员工将与同事协调评估和分享课程，增加项目的更广泛影响。

As the Internet grows, the need for skilled workers to create digital content for different types of venues and applications also grows. This generates a demand for educating both students and faculty about changes in programming, interface design, and mobile application development to respond to a demonstrated need in Illinois and Chicago and its surrounding counties for trained professionals in the mobile design application field.The Interface Design and Development for Mobile Devices project will develop curriculum and educational materials for new certificates and degree programs at McHenry County College. The goals of the project are to 1) prepare incoming students and incumbent workers in the field of mobile development and design to address the problem of the shortage of skilled technicians in the field; and 2) provide professional development on mobile interface design, usability, and marketing to the educational community. Computers and digital media faculty will seek training and use their expertise in developing a new, innovative program with strong intellectual merit in the emerging field of interface design and development for mobile devices. The broader impact includes meeting business and industry needs, resulting in a more highly trained workforce and helping to fill the demand for trained technicians in interface design and mobile applications development. By offering beginning programming classes as dual credit in partnership with area high schools, McHenry County College will strengthen the pipeline of trained individuals in an emerging field. Students completing the program will earn certificates or a degree in interface design and development for mobile devices, preparing them for employment. In addition to developing a website on which newly developed teaching materials and videos can be accessed by other colleges, this project will be disseminated through TeachingTechnicians.org and conference presentations. Faculty will coordinate with colleagues to evaluate and share the curriculum, increasing the broader impact of the project.
