This would introduce freshman to design thinking as soon as they come to campus and teach students how to create their own projects. The course has the potential to mold SIU into a more innovative campus.

<li>

Problem

<li>

Students ~~from all different majors are placed into~~ have questions about opportunities and campus life, but don’t know where to go to get the ~~same University introductory course, yet they all have different interests~~answers.

<li>

How do we know it’s a problem?

<li>

~~We’ve gone through UCOL first hand and~~ After speaking to freshmen during our interviews we realized that ~~it should not be as broadly structured as it was~~these students have questions, but don’t know who or where to turn to for answers. We ~~all agree that it should be tailored towards your specific field of study~~have also noticed this same trend in older students we have met in classes and through extracurriculars. --- How might we give students the resources to get answers? ---

~~This will help students who are not wanting too broad of an overview of campus and~~ We would keep the ~~resources~~ concept simple with a bar to type in questions on itthe homepage of D2L. ~~The students who will come into~~ There would be a FAQ link under the ~~university~~ bar with questions that have been answered and their corresponding answers.

~~It will include a structured list~~ We discussed this idea with one of our stakeholders that is in charge of ~~major related RSO’s and opportunities within~~ the ~~university and around~~ Desire to Learn (D2L) platform, who reacted positively to the ~~southern Illinois region~~proposal. ~~The course will be structured in a way that~~ She offered to help us redesign the ~~students are required~~ homepage of D2L to ~~go out and actually interact~~ include a question bar with ~~peers~~ a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) resource link under it.
