Design Thinking -Wicked Problem
What is the wicked problem?
As AI capabilities rapidly advance, regulators struggle to enact policies, guidelines, and oversight mechanisms fast enough to ensure this transformative technology is developed and deployed ethically, for broad societal benefit, and with adequate protections for potentially impacted groups.
Design Thinking -Empathy
Creating an empathy map for students who over-rely on AI for learning involves understanding their experiences, thoughts, feelings, and actions in relation to AI.
Identify the Students, Gather Data, Create the Empathy Map, and Analyze and Interpret
Design Thinking - Define -Persona
The next step is to come up with three different types of personas for the AI tracking website for students. Conduct research to understand the target audience's goals (e.g., studying more efficiently), behaviors (e.g., frequently trying new AI tools), motivations (e.g., leveraging AI to enhance learning), and pain points (e.g., difficulty assessing if they are over-relying on AI). This data will help develop fictional student personas that capture key characteristics and needs, guiding the website's design to best support its users.
Design Thinking - Mind Mapping
As students increasingly turn to AI-powered apps and chatbots to instantly generate ideas and mind maps for them, educators grapple with the emerging dilemma of whether these technologies stifle students' creativity and critical thinking skills integral to truly mastering self-directed creative ideation and meaningful conceptual mapping.
Design Thinking - Prototype
This prototype empowers students to track, evaluate, and optimize their use of AI tools in education. The platform provides insights, suggestions for balanced study routines, and the ability to compare AI usage with friends to help students make the most of AI while maintaining a healthy study balance.
