Stanford d.school: Teaching + Learning Yearbook ’20
This year was challenging. In March 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic sent us all home and changed our plans, to say the least. As a community, Stanford’s d.school came together and persevered. They pursued new ways of teaching, pivoted classes, and doubled down on taking care of each other. This yearbook is divided into the following three sections:
Behind the Curtain
In this section, you’ll find a sample of what happens behind the scenes of our curriculum and classes. Learn about the topics that we’ve explored this year, the projects we’ve launched, and the feelings and learnings we’ve had along the way.
In Front of the Transition
The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to transition from our traditionally in-person, highly hands-on and group work-oriented classes to an entirely remote and distributed way of teaching, learning, and working starting in March 2020. In this section we share how we took on this transition.
Within the Community
Community has kept us going, propped us up, and forced us to think hard about what we stand for, how we can be more equitable and inclusive, and how we support each other, especially when we are not able to be together. In this section, you’ll learn about the ways we’ve built community within the d.school, teaching teams, and amongst students.
