Dr. Stephen Scott, president of Wake Technical Community College,
announced that the college has invited professionals from the digital
game industry to participate in a DACUM on Dec. 14 from 9 a.m.“6 p.m.
The DACUM will attempt to connect the dots between what occurs in the
classroom and what happens on the job. The industry professionals will
serve as a panel of experts to analyze occupations in the industry and
produce a profile of the duties and tasks required of successful
workers. Their focus will be on programming, game and level design,
testing, production and modeling.
DACUM, or Developing a
Curriculum, is an approach developed and copyrighted in 1990 by the
Center for Education and Training for Employment at The Ohio State
University. A DACUM can be used as a basis for curriculum development,
worker performance evaluations, competency test development and job
descriptions.
"We are pleased to host a DACUM to ensure we are
preparing workers to meet the workforce requirements of this important
Triangle industry," says Dr. Scott. "We appreciate the time and effort
of the many industry professionals who are helping us develop and
refine this curriculum."
