Creating “creative class”

The world of education is changing rapidly: the student contingent is less homogeneous, their previous knowledge and interests differ widely; they are more determined, know what they want and what interests them; many prefer individual work at home with Internet support to “face-to-face” classroom studies; best students, who already work in Information Technology (IT) field have often superior to teacher knowledge of low-level technologies (programming, networking), and are more interested in “general picture” - what is happening, where the IT technology is moving. Here are discussed the changes and shown how we have coped with them on an example of the game programming course.
