With this session we shift focus from a wide world of observations to a specific point of view that will guide your design concepts. The goal for this class session clarify the point of view for the course and to get begin refining a point of view.
-
3:15-3:30– Introduction to the topic, discussion of POV, techniques
- 3:30-3:45 - Example Cases
- Perry Klehban - Patagonia
- Adam French - Chess as a learning tool in Africa

-
4:00-4:05 - Loosening up exercise
-
4:05-5:00 - Teams work on their POV
- Each team has come with a collection of ten "idea provokers" that have come up in your observation and research.
- Starting with these, brainstorm about possible points of view
-
Use post-it note voting to pick one to develop
- Apply one or more of the techniques in the handout to rethink the POV
- Present one example of possible POV for your team
-
5:00-5:15 – full class debrief on how it went, what you learned
Handouts
-
http://extools.stanford.edu/papers/POV-handout.doc gives the basics for creating a point of view
- http://extools.stanford.edu/papers/pov.ppt describes the point of view for the course and answers questions about what can be done in the project
- http://extools.stanford.edu/papers/dTools_dTech_WhoWhatWhenwhere.gif is a diagram showing where tools can be applied in the overall design process.
