The Define<\/b> step is about narrowing in and identifying a problem or, in our case, a challenge, based on what you know and have discovered about your learner. This is key to the design process, as it is the focal point that you will use to build your solution. It is tempting to start BIG, but it is actually more productive and yields better results if you start with something small.\n<\/p>\n

Make sure that the challenge that you have identified is clearly defined.\n<\/p>\n

Using principles from d.school<\/a>, a design thinking institute based out of Stanford University, a good learner challenge is one that:\n<\/p>\n
