Course

This online course Teaching design thinking with digital technologies is aimed at teachers or tutors at any level of education including primary, secondary, further and higher education. The course focuses on helping teachers understand what design thinking is and how it can be used with the support of complementary digital technologies, which can enable easy and effective implementation of design thinking in both a physical and an online setting. 

This course has been designed by the project Extending Design Thinking with Emerging Digital Technologies (Exten(DT)²). The project has been co-funded by Horizon Europe and Innovate UK and involves partners from Sweden, UK, Greece, Norway, Belgium, and Ireland.  

You can find out more about the project on Exten(DT)².

Note: The course activities are practical in nature and involve tasks such as downloading files to your desktop, creating a set of commands and manipulating different web applications to produce artefacts. These tasks may not be easily completed using a mobile device (such as a phone or tablet). Teachers are therefore encouraged to use a computer with a standard desktop operating system such as a PC or Mac (or laptop version of these) when engaging with the activities to enable a more accessible and user-friendly learning experience.
