2019 - 08 - 13 - Design Thinking And How It Can Help Instructional Designers

I'm quite certain that instructional design was not on the minds of the people who originally started describing design thinking but the model's five components mirror the components of quality instructional design quite well. Those five components are: 1. Empathize 2. Define 3. Ideate 4. Prototype 5. Test Stanford's d.School has an excellent "Crash Course" in Design Thinking which is a pretty great example of good instructional design in and of itself which can be found at this link. https://dschool.stanford.edu/resources-collections/a-virtual-crash-course-in-design-thinking
