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....

The first few modules where the basics are covered are much more useful than the final modules, where things felt more like promotional vehicles for their books and services.

This course provides a good understanding of the DT steps with concrete application examples. However, it requires additional readings to be able to apply this learning

En general el curso estuvo bueno para conocer acerca de DT. Me resultó por momentos un poco largo/aburrido, quizás porque da vueltas sobre la misma idea.

It was good but the professor literally said everything in the book... I felt like I could have read the book and gotten just as much out of the course.

I felt it could went way deeper. It provided a very superficial understanding of this subject, could have went in more detail into each of the tools.

The course is pretty uneventful. I have done some courses from other universities, which are more interactive and fun. But the content is great!

EL contenido en general es muuuuy genérico y nada q no se encuentre en un post de Medium. Levanta un poco cuando usan ejemplos reales. Cumple.

Honestly, the information was great, however it went by really slowly, and the videos were really long compared to other Coursera courses.

Not a lot of new as my company is already doing this since quite some time. Still a good reminder and nice way to present the content

It would help a lot if the videos were more dynamic and if some of the explanations are "interpreter" from a different person.

Me parece que es un curso un poco por encima del tema.

Se que es nivel inicial pero aún así me pareció un poco superficial.

I wish the subject was bit more clear. I felt i lost direction in between the lectures about the main goal of the lecture.

Content is good but some graphics and animation should be added to make it more attractive as well as educational.

The Lecture and the content are really good but the peer review grading is not accomplishing anything.

Could be less generic! The exemples are a little bit abstract, not much hands on or practical.
