Design Thinking Workshop: edTech Edition
This design thinking workshop template was specifically created with edTech products in mind. The exercises will help build team alignment around how to best serve the target audience and brainstorm new product directions and features.
In order to design for your user persona, it’s important to keep your persona’s entire instructional ecosystem in mind. By the end of this workshop, you and your team will have generated solutions that will make your product feel like it’s a seamless part of your primary user’s day-to-day.
In this workshop, you and your team will:
Align on your goals for the day
Review discovery materials that relate to your goals
Collectively consider opportunities, barriers, and risks
Generate feature ideas or address other needs
for your personas
Work in small groups to refine your ideas
Share, vote, and identify next steps
We recommend inviting a cross-section of your team, including product, marketing, and sales team members, as well as VPs and other stakeholders. In edTech, this will likely also include content experts, authors, or curriculum designers.
The workshop is designed to take place over two 4-hour sessions.
