Design Thinking and Learning Pedagogy Wolak Learning Fellows

Catalog description

In this Wolak Learning Fellows course, students will be co-designers in creating the optimal learning experience for a course taken previously in their academic pathway. Students will investigate strategies for improving student engagement and learning through the development of experiments using the design thinking process. Students will collaborate closely throughout the course with classroom stakeholders on the findings of each experiment and reflect on the success of their practices and techniques to inform additional needs for the learning experience. Additionally, through this experience students will gain a variety of skills including leadership, communication, and team building that will benefit academic and professional goals, as well as support a broader community within the university.
