Learning Exchange: LUNCH SESSION - Design Thinking in Your Pedagogy
Sponsored by: the Wells Fargo Distinguished Professorship in Educational Leadership
Participants are guided in an immersive activity that exposes
participants to the full cycle of design thinking in a short timeframe.
It will touch on the fundamental values of human-centered design: a
bias toward action, a culture of iteration, and the importance of rapid
prototyping. The latter portion of the session will unpack the results
of the activity and tie them back to the day-to-day challenges that
participants face in their home institution.
Date: Tuesday, March 22, 2016
Time: 12:00p.m.–2:00p.m.
Location: Sweetheart Dining Room Todd Dining Hall on top of College Hill
