| Introduction |
|---|
| This course aims to introduce the concepts and practices of Design Thinking. Emphasizing a learner-centered approach, the goal is to cultivate students' critical thinking and practical skills. Adopting a "learning-by-doing" model, the course minimizes traditional lecturing and instead uses "Problems" to guide learners through open discussions and deep reflection on specific issues. This facilitates the internalization of knowledge, broadens horizons to embrace diverse perspectives and the uniqueness of different target audiences, and enables students to define and solve problems effectively. Additionally, "Tasks" and projects are utilized to stimulate innovative thinking, prompt practical application and reflection, and help learners gradually develop their own design philosophies. The course structure incorporates diverse group learning and practical tasks. Its core spirit is to return the responsibility of learning to the students, allowing each learner to fully take ownership of their educational journey. Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this course, learners will be able to: 1. Understand Design Thinking concepts and cultivate related skills. 2. Apply the Design Thinking process to execute project plans. 3. Foster the ability to share and learn knowledge across disciplines. 4. Leverage digital technology (AI) to stimulate team creativity and accelerate the creative process. 5. Utilize 360-degree video to explore storytelling techniques in virtual reality. |
