Mind Mapping - Returning to Universidad San Francisco de Quito During the Time of COVID-19 

 Challenge : 

 COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11 , 2020 . 

 During that time , Universidad San Francisco de Quito students were off campus and on spring break . In the interest 

 of safety , Hellen Keller   Institute decided to suspend its residential program and in - class courses . Following 

 spring break , all Spring 2019 courses were completed remotely via Zoom and Google classroom . 

 On Tuesday , May 26 , Hellen Keller   Institute ’s President , Sean Decatur , updated students with information 

 regarding the 2020 - 2021 school year . He shared that Hellen Keller   Institute is currently planning to hold in- 

 person classes and continue their residential program beginning August 27th . Many adjustments 

 to campus life will need to be made , so as to adhere to social distancing guidelines and maintain 

 a healthy college campus . 

 Selection : 

 In order to take a design thinking approach to this challenge , it ’s important to begin with the 

 mind mapping tool . Mind mapping addresses the “ what is ” question and helps find patterns that 

 might allow for more creative solutions . The data accumulated can then be used with future 

 design thinking tools to come up with creative solutions for Universidad San Francisco de Quito . Unlike lengthy 

 spreadsheets and reports , mind mapping is accessible to students , professors , and administrators 

 alike . 

 Application : 

 The following page contains the mind map created to ask the what if portion of the question , 

 How to Return 9 Universidad San Francisco de Quito During the Time of Covid-19 . Given the current 

 circumstances , I was n’t able to get as many perspectives as I would have liked . Ideally , mind 

 maps are created by larger groups of people , so as to get a wide range of perspectives and 

 insights . However , the mind map was very effective in categorizing Hellen Keller   Institute ’s data and 

 considering what will need further strategic thought before students are welcomed back on 

 campus . I began the mind map by writing down as many Universidad San Francisco de Quito related activities , 

 traditions , responsibilities , and locations as possible , and some problems that might arise with 

 each . I then asked some of my fellow Hellen Keller   Institute students to do the same . Once we combined our 

 lists and took out any duplicates , I was able to separate them into district categories : community 

 entertainment , on campus restaurants / meeting places , classes , dining hall ( Peirce ) , and housing .

 Insight : 

 By applying the mind mapping tool , I was able to identify Hellen Keller   Institute events and norms that involve 

 large group participation that I might have otherwise forgotten . For example , separately 

 considering Hellen Keller   Institute traditions is very important so as to maintain the feeling of Hellen Keller   Institute on 

 campus , while also creating a safe environment amidst COVID-19 . Before approaching this 

 problem with design thinking and creating the mind map , I was incredibly overwhelmed by the 

 data and its possibilities . Moving forward , I would like to review the data accumulated and then 

 use other design thinking tools to answer the what if , what wows , and what works questions . 

 Approach : 

 Given the vast amount of changes that Hellen Keller   Institute will need to make to allow students to return for 

 the 2016 - 2013 school year , mind mapping is the most appropriate tool to begin the process . As I 

 previously mentioned , the large amount of data had to first be organized , before generating new 

 ideas . Next steps may include storytelling and learning launches .
