Course Description & Objective
Conducting design research could uncover many insights to make improvements and as a catalyst for creating innovation.
In this 4-week course, you will learn essential skills to conduct design research starting from research planning - know which methods to use, interviewing skills, synthesizing data to reporting. We will also share some practical tricks and tips in conducting design research that we gathered through our experiences.

Starting from listing your hypothesis, defining research questions, planning and conducting your research, synthesizing to reporting, you will be able to plan and communicate your research with confidence.

This is a fully online course and all the assignments will be done individually. The course materials will be in English but the facilitation will be in Bahasa Indonesia. You can view and access all course materials online (details will be shared) during the period that the course is open.
