CSMC-N101 Empathy+social Insight for Human-Centered Design Micro-Certification -
In this micro-certification, participants will learn about why you need to develop an understanding of the people you are designing for, and how—through observation, empathy & social research—you will be able to define the problem or opportunity to focus on, identify and evaluate complex challenges and opportunities at the intersection of design, technology, and social theory.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon the successful completion, participants will have gained skills to:
• Employ a basic design vocabulary of elements and principles as related to human-centred design.
• Consider relevant ethnographic research methods to understand people and context for uncovering insights.
• Identify and evaluate complex challenges and opportunities at the intersections of design, technology, and social theory.
