Human-Centered Design

The eCampusOntario Student Experience Design (SXD) Lab is an Ontario innovation hub that tackles some of the most complex problems facing post-secondary education today. The focus is exclusively on student-led innovation. Why? Because students have historically been excluded from meaningful participation in the design and operation of the higher education system that exists to serve them.

The SXD Lab invites you to join a workshop to explore the process of human-centered design for solving problems through a hands on, learn-by-doing approach that will focus on co-creation between faculty and students. Participants will be guided through a crash-course to design that emphasizes problem definition, user-data synthesis, ideation and prototyping. This session will be facilitated by SXD Lab students and the Lead of Student Supports for eCampusOntario.
