A chapter in Design Thinking Research, 2018, pp 217-237 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The increasing demand for learning and experiencing the human-centered approach of design thinking has led to a need for more and broader education formats. In this research project, we investigate how design thinking can be taught to a massive, global audience with the use of digital education. In this chapter, we describe our design thinking MOOC prototype Inspirations for Design. We commence by presenting the research and theoretical foundation on which we created the MOOC’s didactic design and discuss our aims for testing a pilot version of the MOOC and consequently the MOOC prototype. Results from the pilot version and the MOOC prototype are reported and discussed. We end this chapter by presenting deduced ideas for an Inspirations for Design iteration and future digital design thinking learning units and propose adaptations for the openHPI platform to facilitate design thinking education in a MOOC environment.
