Phase 3: IDeation
Phase three of the Design Thinking Process is all about coming up with ideas, the more the better! We used a different Web 2.0 tool, Popplet, which is designed to facilitate brainstorming. We looked at our refined question from Phase 2, “How might we provide students equal access to online homework assignments?” and came up with 100 ideas that might help answer this question or solve this problem of inequity. After generating a list of 100 ideas we refined it down to 4, and had another brainstorming session for how those would benefit end users as well as how they might cause more problems. In the end we decided on one idea that was a combination of a few we had discussed, and started sketching a rough blueprint for how to proceed next week for Phase 4. See my resources for more details.
