CCK 12

Incorporating design thinking into learning design requires an open mind, and a willingness to look at what we do very differently. Too often, the ‘D’ in the ‘ID’ role stands for developer, not designer. We take a problem and immediately plug a solution into the template of our chosen authoring tool. That’s not design, and it’s not reflective of design thinking.

One thing I try to do to incorporate more design thinking into my learning design is to assume I’m wrong

By assuming I am wrong, not just about the solution but also about my understanding of the problem, I am forced to dig deeper. I am forced to think more about the problem, trying to better understand it from the perspective of those living it

Learning programs shouldn’t need to include instructions on how to use the learning programs.
