connective learning communities - prototype
DESCRIPTION
Prepared as a prototype for a "Design Thinking Action Lab" project, this presentation offers a walk-through of the first four stages of Design Thinking. Empathize, Design, Ideate, and Prototype. This process began with a Design Challenge Question: "Go to school, get your degree, get a job . . ." "Does this traditional path from education to employment make sense today for the hundreds of millions of learners around the world?"TRANSCRIPT
