Abstract

We are constantly striving towards improving our Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), in which we convey design thinking skills to thousands of learners. In this chapter we describe how lessons learned from our first MOOC and different educational frameworks influenced the course design for our second MOOC on synthesis, idea generation and idea selection. We present general survey results from the second course as well as a preliminary analysis and discussion of the synthesis assignment task.
