Design Thinking

Design Thinking

1. The need for new designs

   • New conditions and broader and more complex learning goals
   • call for a developmental response
   • drawing on design methods that have been created to develop solutions to urgent problems.

2. The discipline of design

   • Design processes are:
     • FOCUSED ON A PROBLEM:
     • DRIVEN BY EMPATHY:
     • COLLABORATIVE:
     • CLEAR AND TANGIBLE:
     • FAIL-SAFE-FAIL-FAST:
     • CAPACITY-BUILDING:

3. The design methodology

   • Stimulate
     • explore examples of learning sites from around the world and refine a set of design principles for engaging learning
   • Incubate
     • the next step is to explore, generate and evaluate solutions to the problem.
       • Turning ideas into effective practices requires a similar process to occur.
   • Scale
     • Scaling has typically been seen as a simple problem of knowledge transfer: if a solution is ‘good’, others just need to hear about it and they will want and be able to adopt it
