Resources: Curriculum Development
It’s Easy to Bring Design Thinking to Your Classroom
SCD’s design strategists frequently collaborate with instructors from across campus to bring design thinking into the classroom. They help develop student projects at a variety of scales to suit the custom needs of a course, including co-designing curriculum and assisting with its delivery.
What exactly does that mean? We can help instructors discover how to best expand the possibilities of student learning outcomes with human-centered design, in everything from single-class workshops and lab sessions to full-semester design thinking projects.

Facilitated by HCD-trained SCD Teaching Scholars, In-Class Workshops explore the human-centered design process.
