The course I choose is:
Design Thinking for Innovation
https://learndigital.withgoogle.com/digitalskills/course/design-thinking-innovation
I would like to use this course for a professional development workshop with my colleagues as well as with my students. Since I strongly believe that it is very important to promote innovations to entrepreneurs or people planning to engage in entrepreneurship as well as to the people in our community so as to open their minds and not just be depending on a job or falling in the cycle for searching employment. Besides not just depend on one source of income.
I have used Berkeley's guide to evaluate the framework of the resource chosen.
