Design Thinking for Educators, Human-Centered Design, UDL

March 26, 2019 Agenda: Design Thinking, Human-Centered Design, and Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

  • Design Thinking is a process that you go through to create solutions that will actually be adopted by people (Note, we use “solutions” to mean a product, process, or service that will be used by a person or group of people). Download the Design Thinking for Educators Toolkit
  • Human-Centered Design is a mindset that overlays design thinking to ensure that the products are actually relevant and beneficial— in the long run — for the people they are intended to serve. Human-Centered Design Process Diagram
  • Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an approach to teaching that aims to give all students equal opportunities to succeed, no matter how they learn. (Todd Rose video below explains)
