About the Course

Today innovation is everyone's business. Whether you are a manager in a global corporation, an entrepreneur starting up, in a government role, or a teacher in an elementary school, everyone is expected to get lean – to do better with less. And that is why we all need design thinking. At every level in every kind of organization, design thinking provides the tools you need to become an innovative thinker and uncover creative opportunities that are there – you're just not seeing them yet. In this course, developed at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia and taught by top-ranked faculty, we provide an overview of design thinking and work with a model containing four key questions and several tools to help you understand design thinking as a problem solving approach. We also look at several stories from different organizations that used design thinking to uncover compelling solutions....

I am very disappointed to learn that the course cannot be be completed (doesn't allow for assignment to be uploaded) unless you sign up. This should be made more clear up front. Poor form.

Even though the first lectures are good, I think overall the lectures are too lengthy and so much blah blah.

However, I do highly appreciate the enthusiasm of the teacher.

The topic is really good, but the course does not cover the tools or methodology detailed enough. It is too high level and not many examples or assignments.

I did not find videos appealing. The course was boring and not interesting. Although I do like the Design Thinking approach I did not enjoy this class.

Good introduction to the topic but there are no hands on assignments to help you build skills. The capstone project is a reflection paper.

course content is good,

but when i am near to complete the course , and completed my assignment too , on submit it shows that i have to upgrade for submit,

not a good style. It should be mix a of reading and videos. Videos of much length, no video should be more than 5 minutes, and instead of speaking people in video there should be more graphics and art representation of explaing different techniques. Hope so you will improve for future learners.

El tema es muy interesante, pero eligieron a la persona incorrecta para dictar el curso ya que su metodología es mala y aburrida.

Charging at the end of the course without pre-waring is equal to cheating.
