Human Centered Design (HCD) is a creative and logical problem solving method with wide applications in business and social impact. It is also known as Design Thinking. HCD brings together frameworks from different disciplines into a five stage iterative problem solving approach. Its differentiating elements are its focus on users and customers, iteration, and multi-disciplinary collaboration. This module is a short introduction to the method.
This is meant to be a brief overview of the HCD method. As a vast and fast evolving field, there is a lot more to cover - some of which this toolkit is doing - some we encourage learners to discover themselves. There is also no exercise included in this session.
