| Description (ECIAD) | Human-centered design is an empathetic,
human-focused approach to problem-solving. This
course introduces common design concepts, how to
identify human focused problems through diverse
research, and problem solving strategies. Through
research and practice-based approaches, you will
learn to empathize with humans, to ensure
solutions address key biases, and co-create
solutions to fit their identified needs. Using
human-centered strategies, this course will equip
you with knowledge to co-create inclusive,
innovative solutions that fit the humans' needs
and contexts. Useful across organizations or
projects in any domain, human-centered design
thinking strategies can begin to frame
human-centric, long-term solutions, no matter your
area of practice or expertise.
