Teaching provides us with the opportunity to discuss our research with passionate students and also offers us the chance to inspire the next generation with our topics. Therefore, the chair hosts many different lectures and seminars on Bachelor and Master level on a wide range of topics. Currently, the chair hosts the following courses within the HPI Curriculum:
We conduct a course called Global team based innovations (GTI) in partnership with the SUGAR network. This course brings together students from HPI and many other globally distributed universities to work on challenges for nine months presented by renowned Corporate Partners and coached by Design Thinking Experts. During the course, students go through the different phases of the Design Thinking cycle, which enables them to innovate and create high fidelity products. The course wants to enable future innovators and aims to deliver real and tangible outcomes. The course is open to Master students from HPI for ITSE, DH and DE streams.
The course is conducted in 3 parts :
- GTI 1 is the first course of the series which takes place in Winter term (in progress).
- GTI 2 is the second course of the series which takes place in Summer term.
The chair for Design Thinking and Innovation Research (DTIR) supervises thesis projects on the bachelor and master student level from the Hasso Plattner Institute, the University of St Gallen (CH), and the University of Potsdam.
An active and playful course to learn an algoritmic approach to problem solving, where students learn about tangible creative techniques to solve certain classes of puzzles, and improve their problem solving abilities. This course takes place during the summer semester!
Participants will learn how to use user research techniques to identify individuals’ needs and contextual state, which will then inform the design of interventions for digital health solutions. From a method perspective, we will discuss how to combine design research with computational methods for a data-driven elicitation of user requirements. As a theoretical foundation, participants will learn how Design Theory and behavioral theories (e.g., Nudge) can support the creation of just-in-time interventions that provide the right type (or amount) of support, at the right time.
