This book is an essential read for anyone who is curious about designing the future of higher education today. The authors share how everyone can leverage design principles as a catalyst to have interdisciplinary conversations that re-examine how to best prepare learners in their future workplaces and as global citizens in light of the changing dynamics of todays social, political, and economic climate. In a time where many question the value of higher education, the authors converge historical precedent with evidence-based practices we can learn from to create the future of higher education. -- Sabba Quidwai, Founder, Designing Schools, USA This book explores how design thinking can transform higher education, with solutions ranging from single course sessions to whole programs and universities. The authors demonstrate how designing across disciplines is done, with disruptive technologies, ambiguity and challenges as catalysts. Iteratively tested pedagogies, design-driven solutions and creative uses of both tactile and digital worlds are among the approaches discussed. Educators and leaders of higher education institutes as well as designers and managers of companies will benefit from engaging the design ideas in their own work. Miikka J.
