Illinois Institute of TechnologyAdjunct Professor
Sep. 2015 - May. 2016- Digital Service Design Class: fall 2015- spring 2016 Students will learn how to conceive, advance, and develop and understand simple digital services, and how to design digital services that are: • Desirable: solves a key problem and creates value for stakeholders • Viable: the solution is economically sustainable over time • Feasible: can be implemented using existing, accessible technology
Successful digital design teams are inter-disciplinary, so while they are learning to design digital services you will also build the following skills: • Teamwork: How to be an effective member of an interdisciplinary team, adding the expertise of their discipline and working on topics broader than their major. • Communication: How to effectively communicate the technical and non-technical aspects of a project to key stakeholders. • Logically correct reasoning: The ability to generate a hypothesis using inductive logic (leveraging design methods), and then prove/disprove it using deductive logic (leveraging prototyping and analytical thinking). • Project management: Deliver a desired, planned outcome with time and resource constraints. • Ethics: How to act ethically when conducting research, working in teams, and creating solutions.
