Empathic Design: Where Do We Go From Here?

• In Event: D&D- Empathic Design (h)

Short Description

Empathic design draws on designers’ sensitivity toward their learners as a reference for design. Empathic forecasting, or predictions about emotional reactions to future events, may be meaningful for empathic design. Tracey & Hutchinson’s 2019 ETR&D article, Empathic Design: Imagining the Cognitive and Emotional Learner Experience resulted in three respondent publications with alternative views. Where do we go from here? The six authors will respond to specific questions in this lively interactive session moving empathic design forward.
