These are pretty good free courses and work best if you get one or two others to work through them with you.
Check it out and we'll see you this Wednesday night for a UX Studio on Sketching Solving Problem Methods.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How does the course work? Both courses have been set-up as a group-guided learning structure which means that you'll need to form a team of between two and six people - referred to as your design team. Once you have your team, you'll meet each week to learn the human-centered design process via reading and workshop materials that we've created for you.
How much do these courses cost? Both the Introduction Course for Human-Centered Design and the Prototyping Course are offered for free thanks to the generosity of people like you who support us through personal donations. If you find the courses useful for advancing your skills and knowledge of human-centered design, please consider making a donation of $50 at ideo.org/donate. As a 501(c)(3) organization, all donations to IDEO.org are tax-deductible.
Do I have to take the course as a group? Yes, we strongly suggest completing course materials as a group rather than individually. After all, human-centered design is all about collaboration! Additionally, we recommend finding a group that you can meet with in-person. If you're unsure of who will be in your group—don't worry. You can peruse our online learning platform to connect with others in your location.
Can IDEO.org help me find my group? Unfortunately given the large size of these courses, and the small size of our team, we are unable to help course takers find design team members. However, there will be a discussion section on the course platform when the course opens that can help connect you with other registered course takers.
What if I've taken the course already? Human-centered design is all about practice, practice, practice! We encourage you to join us again in honing your skills. You can also check out the Facilitator's Guide to Human-Centered Design if you're interested in leading others through the human-centered design process.
Who else is taking the course? You'll join teams from around the world taking this course as part of the leadership classes offered by +Acumen. Last year, many participants found it valuable to take the course with coworkers and explore how human-centered design can add new perspectives to their work—whether it be applied to nonprofits, social enterprises, educational institutions, or international aid organizations. In addition, you'll have the opportunity to share learnings, ask questions, and get to know other course participants from around the world via an online community hosted on NovoEd.
Interested in signing up? Both courses opened on Sept 12, 2017 and will be open for registration for 2 weeks following that date.
