  • Make the learning elective, not required
  • Start with empathy - what do UBC students really need?
  • 3, not 1. always provide more than 1 answer, more than 1 option.
  • Don't "should" on the students. Maintain design thinking's neutral yet positive stance
  • Prototype all changes, everything has an impact.
  • no grading. Emphasize participation and completion
  • Maintain the 4 Cs: container, construct, conversation, community
  • It is critical to have the construct and container where there is a safe place for students to share with one another.
  • Lab before lecture. Experience before reflection.

Therefore, when we are offering more than 7 options to students, we are actually offering nothing.

    There is no need to "keep all of your options open".

  • Frame a good problem. Ask open-ended and concrete questions.
  • Warm up
  • Use Brainstorming rules: 
    • defer judgement
    • go for volume
    • encourage wild ideas
    • build off ideas of others "Yes, and..."
    4. Select ideas based on specific criteria (ex: most delightful) and extract insights for follow-up
