About this course
Design thinking becomes more concrete when an idea is traced back to the people it is meant to help. Falk Uebernickel introduces that connection through problem definition, needfinding and synthesis before moving into ideation, prototyping and testing.
The course combines micro- and macro-cycle explanations with field research, interviews, observation and insight development. Readings accompany the video material, while digital prototyping examples show how the process can be expressed through a tangible proposal.

Skills you’ll gain
- Investigating user needs
- Synthesizing research observations
- Developing prototype ideas
- Using tests to refine a proposal
Curiosity, openness and a human-centered outlook are the stated requirements. Take the research and synthesis sections before rushing to a prototype: an attractive solution is difficult to assess if the need it addresses is still vague.
Some demonstrations refer to SAP and Prott. Their current product availability and licensing are not established by enrollment in this course. You can explore a low-fidelity idea with paper sketches before choosing software; that is a WikiFree practice suggestion, not a claim that every demonstrated digital tool is free.
Frequently asked questions
Does the course contain reading material?
Yes. The public curriculum includes readings as well as lectures, so allow time to study rather than treating the listed duration as your total learning commitment.
Must I purchase the prototyping tools shown?
Enrollment does not supply commercial software licenses. The conceptual process can be explored with low-fidelity sketches, while specific digital demonstrations may require separate tool access.
