Canvas model criation to academic planning associate design thinking tools

Abstract

In education, the moments where the administrators of the institution and the faculty members need planning and organizing ideas are countless. One specific and complex moment that precedes the academic year is academic planning. To innovate in this area, it was built a Canvas model that attended to our institutional needs and to the revival challenges of the teaching-learning plan and bigger integration of the faculty members along with activities that used the Design Thinking tool to systematically approach problem-solving. The results obtained show that a more creative and encouraging environment enabled pointing out in a broader way the aspects of the ideas created and refined, stimulated the creation of a large number of ideas in a short space of time and helped validate ideas by reducing uncertainties, besides identifying which thought out solutions made more sense to the participants with regard to the proposed challenge.
