Overview

This course builds on the teachings in Human-Centered Design for Work at a Distance: Toolbox Essentials. We recommend you complete it before enrolling in this course.

One of the benefits of acquiring human-centered design skills is that they are extremely versatile. Once mastered, they can be applied at an individual, team or organizational level, to support product design, team communications, problem solving, customer experience and more.

In Human-Centered Design for Work at a Distance: Prototype Solutions , you will deepen your knowledge of human-centered design, combine the tools learned in Human-Centered Design for Work at a Distance: Toolbox Essentials, and learn a problem-solving methodology to propose solutions for real-world people who need to transform how they work at a distance.

Continue to learn from guest speakers from a range of industries, work with, and receive feedback on a real case study, and build a case study based on a real person in your community that you could support. Initiate and implement your own design process to help improve or re-invent that individual or organization’s work/business.

These courses are very important because it make us do a brain storm when we face a problem using several scientific methods that can identify the problem and find its roots and then the solution for the problem from our experiences and the experiences of others

This course introduced me to new and exciting tools to use when building products from start to finish. It teaches how the customers or target users could be understood better, which in turn helps to better understand and cater to these customers or users better. It also touches on tools needed to better understand or analyze your business.

The insightful and useful suggestive comments from the staff at the end of the grading are an added extra.
