Have you ever thought about why you do what you do? Not just in your career, but in your life itself? How your views, sense of identify and values inform what you do? Or, have you tried to make a change and not been able to sustain it? This isn't uncommon and you are definitely not alone. Bill Burnett and Dave Evans recognised a need for a space where you could answer these questions by applying design thinking principles to your life, so they created a credit bearing unit at Stanford University.

As educators, we have an opportunity to help shape the pedagogy of care. For this reason, we must be committed to designing for care. We must continue to be committed to cultivating empathetic understanding and practice this online. If we, as educators do these things, we will be well-positioned to help shape a future in which care is embraced as a necessary part of online learning.

So, let's look at what they are, how you can challenge such biases and make informed decisions for your learner experience.
