Abstract:
The application of weblogs in educational environments is enjoying an increasingly good reputation. In this paper, we describe our experiences with weblogs, supporting the innovation seeking process ’design thinking’ that has recently received attention in various fields of interest. In face of this broad range of ’design thinking’ usage, it was surprising to us, how little technology is employed in the corresponding teamwork processes. In this paper, we therefore stress the idea that weblogs may greatly support design thinking teams. Firstly, by enabling and supporting the formation of team communities across barriers of individual diversity, space and time, and secondly by supporting the process of design thinking itself.
