Keywords: creativity, design-thinking, teamwork

Abstract: Design Thinking has been successfully used in traditional classroom and other settings to teach creativity and innovation. The Design Thinking approach is typically very interactive and hands-on which presented a challenge when converting this process to a virtual classroom environment. This session will share ideas how the session leaders have successfully utilized Design Thinking in a virtual classroom environment, facilitated using the digital collaborative visual workspace tool, MURAL. Session participants will have the opportunity to participate in interactive exercises using MURAL.
