Workshop Syllabus & Agenda

Workshop Description

This workshop is focused on teaching you advanced Innovation methods and principles using Design Thinking as the primary driver.  You will learn what innovation is and how Design Thinking is a driver of innovation. You will learn to accelerate your decision making, collaboration, ideation, and ultimately your innovation skills.  You will accomplish this by learning to use various Design Thinking methods and tools for research, analysis, synthesis and decision making.


Workshop Goals

This workshop will be most useful for teams interested in driving

innovation as an individual, in a community, or in a company/organization.  It will also provide a system so that you can

repeatedly generate new ideas, concepts, and decisions.  Once you learn this system, it’s domain agnostic.  That is, you’ll be able to apply

these methods to new product development just as easily to service

Design.


 At the completion of this training, students will be able to:

1.Upon completion of this workshop, students will understand what

innovation is and how design thinking can be a major driver of it.

2.Upon completion of this workshop, students will be able to plan

and conduct design research.

3.Upon completion of this workshop, students will be able to

synthesize themes, patterns, and insights from qualitative design

research data.

4.Upon completion of this workshop, students will be able to plan,

structure, and facilitate ideation and concepting sessions.

5.Upon completion of this workshop, students will be able to use

design thinking tools to frame, plan and execute a challenge relevant to their work, community or personal.


We have a limited number of spaces. Please register as soon as possible.We realize that the timing of this event is tight, but we are hoping to help teams as they deal with this crisis.

The Coronavirus Chronicles Archive is a publicly sourced, transnational database of stories about the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on everyday life. Based out of the University of Pennsylvania, one member of the team is Conor Donnan (MA, History 2016).


This project is for everyone embroiled in this crisis. It invites people of diverse backgrounds around the world to pen “diaries” of their day-to-day, as well as to share their thoughts on public health strategies. The resulting collage of stories, presented on an online platform, will facilitate a continued connection, and demonstrate that no one is or should be alone in this fight. The publicly sourced database will also serve as an invaluable archive for future researchers seeking a grassroots understanding of the pandemic, expanding their data sources from policy, and breaking news to include your stories. The voices of the majority of people are often neglected in history books, but this project hopes to enable scholars to include your diverse perspectives in future research about COVID-19.

To pass the time, they tell each other stories…”

(Cover copy. The Decameron, by Giovanni Boccaccio, Penguin Classics, 1972)

As a creative response to the postponement of the DST2020 Conference, the conference organizers are initiating a project we call the “Digital Decameron.”  As in Boccaccio’s original, the project will run ten days, with ten stories featured here each day.  We will begin on March 30, the original planned start of DST2020.

We welcome your submissions.

We are inviting those who want to create new digital stories to do so, or find one that has inspired you, or look for one, as you might find on the StoryCenter YouTube channel, that you find particularly powerful.

There are no particular rules; it could be a new story or a previously created one; it could be a direct response to the current situation, or simply a story that celebrates humanity in all its imperfection; it could be a personal story, or any story you would like to tell in the circumstances. A length of less that five minutes is suggested.

Upload your new story to YouTube, or find a digital story and copy the URL, and send the link to: digitalstories@umbc.edu.  If you are uploading a new story, make sure you add your description as part of your upload process on YouTube.

Stories received before March 30 will be considered for the initial ten days.  Beyond this, we hope to grow the collection and keep it available here, so submissions will remain open after the 30th.


    “To take pity on people in distress is a human quality which every man and woman should possess, but it is especially requisite in those who have once needed comfort, and found it in others. … in my anguish I have on occasion derived much relief from the agreeable conversation and the admirable expressions of sympathy offered by friends, without which I am firmly convinced that I should have perished.”

    (Preface to Decameron)

“The Digital Decameron” and the 9th International Digital Storytelling Conference (DST2020) are organized collaboratively by Loughborough University (UK),  StoryCenter (US),  University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) (US), SCLDA – Smithsonian Center for Learning and Digital Access (US), Montgomery College (US), Patient Voices (UK)

Welcome to the all online environment! The Library has many ways to provide research assistance and other help during the emergency and there are some things you should know:

THE BAD NEWS

  • The library building is closed, no one allowed in or out, including the atrium and RLC. This means no books, reserves, media, laptops, or DML equipment is available for check-out, and USMAI borrowing and Interlibrary Loan are not operating.

THE GOOD NEWS

  • For information about library services currently available please see https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/library/posts/91400. 

  • We request that you hold on to all Library materials for the time being. Fines and fees for currently checked-out material are suspended for the duration. Automatic messages may still go out, so if you are worried about an item being overdue, email the Circulation Department at circlib-group@umbc.edu. 

  • Reference staff are available in chat from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Look for the “Ask a Librarian” box at the edges of the library homepage. Questions asked before or after chat hours will be answered by email.
