The paper discusses how Design Thinking and Technology-Enhanced Learning can support multidisciplinary teams in Higher Education working on creative projects. In particular, it proposes the integration of Design Thinking and AI-driven technologies into educational methodology to improve communication, engagement, personalized learning, and interactivity of students. The results of this approach are to address the challenges of Higher Education consisting in students’ assessment of the learning process, developing their creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. This educational project is designed in collaboration with the Department of Industrial Design and the Learning Mall at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. The methodology includes a literature review on Design Thinking and analysis of surveys from the Design School students at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and the AI assistants. Dynamic tools such as Articulate Rise 360 and AI have made it possible to visualize concepts and create interactive content for learners. The results include two educational prototypes that introduce a new thinking model to Design Thinking methodology and share experiments with interactive technological features. Applying this approach, teachers can create an environment conducive to the development of skills needed in the 21st century.
