Research and Applications of Classroom Group Collaboration in the Design Thinking Online Tool

In the innovative method teaching courses of engineering colleges and universities, the application of UCD-based (User-Centered Design) design thinking methodology is becoming more extensive, and related research is booming. This research uses a self-developed online design thinking tool based on group collaboration to establish an analysis model of collaborative design in the tool. Through the analysis and research on the behavior data collected by the tool, the consensus of views, behavior patterns, and social relations are analyzed. Analysis examples and visual presentations are provided in these three dimensions. This shows that the application of design thinking collaborative online tools helps to establish a deeper understanding of group collaborative design and provides corresponding inspiration for teachers.
