At Newcastle University we are exploring the use of student data to help improve the student learning experience. That’s why we are running a number of Design Sprints for students. Your input will be key to determining some of the software students will use in the future at Newcastle.
What’s a Design Sprint and how can I get involved?
A design sprint is a step-by-step approach to solving problems and coming up with alternative solutions.
In the session you will be given a scenario relating to using data to enhance your learning experience and asked to come up with a solution. You will work together with other students during the session so a great chance to demonstrate and develop your collaborative working skills.
All sessions will be held online so anyone with a computer connected to the internet can get involved.
Why take part?
- Great addition to your CV/resume
- Certificate of Participation
- Have a real impact on the approach the University takes
- Develop your collaborative working skills
