About the Course

Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design is the first of a series of seven courses that will equip you with the skills needed to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience design. UX designers focus on the interactions that people have with products like websites, mobile apps, and physical objects. UX designers make those everyday interactions usable, enjoyable, and accessible. The role of an entry-level UX designer might include empathizing with users, defining their pain points, coming up with ideas for design solutions, creating wireframes, prototypes, and mockups, and testing designs to get feedback. Current UX designers and researchers at Google will serve as your instructors, and you will complete hands-on activities that simulate real-world UX design scenarios. Learners who complete the seven courses in this certificate program should be equipped to apply for entry-level jobs as UX designers. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Define the field of UX and explain why it’s important for consumers and businesses. - Understand foundational concepts in UX design, such as user-centered design, the design thinking framework, accessibility, and equity-focused design. - Identify the factors that contribute to great user experience design. - Review common job responsibilities of entry-level UX designers and teams that they work with. - Explore job opportunities and career paths within the field of user experience. - Explain why design sprints are an important and useful part of a UX designer’s work. - Describe common UX research methods. - Identify and account for biases in UX research....

It's a wonderful course that I've ever taken. I'm being proud of me that I've elected this particular course.

The way of taking their challenges (or tests) on a weekly basis had impressed me a lot.

This course taught me what a UX Designer does, what type of companies hire UX Designers, and other people that UX Designers work with. The material is presented in a way that is easy to understand and the discussion forums are helpful to engage, reflect, and collaborate with other students taking the course. I am looking forward to the next one!

Before I took the course, I thought I knew a bit about design. But in the course, the instrusctors broke down the fine details of what User Experience design really is.

It was an eye opening experience and it taught me to appreciate the basics of UX design. Its beginner-friendly, and mid-level designers can surely learn a thing or two as well.

I have been transitioning to UX Design for over a year now. I took online courses from another institution before this program was launched. As I was experiencing the first two weeks' content of this course, it made me wish that this program was launched a year earlier! The course was very structured! Can't wait to continue to the next course!

This course was extremely informative and I learned a lot of information. I feel very comfortable moving on to the next portion of Google's UX Certificate courses. Some of the videos were a little slow paced so I ended up increasing the speed. The readings helped reiterate some of the lessons that were taught in the videos but more in depth.

Very good course for beginners! The videos explain the concepts well, and it was cool getting to learn from people at Google. I've tried learning UX on my own, but it was hard. I feel like I was always missing a foundation or the basics or something to make it really stick. I definitely feel like I have a good foundation now, and I'm stoked!

This is great introductory course into User Experience Design that actually has a great UI. What stood out for me was the pop-up questions that helped ensure that I was focused every step of the way. The practical hands-on activities helped me develop myself not only in the field of UX but helped me have a more holistic professional growth.

Very well-structured and easily digestible course. Videos are clear and concise, so you are learning a lot of new useful information without feeling overwhelmed. It is easy to manage and allocate your time for this course, thanks to a clear breakdown that includes a time estimate for how long each section will most likely take to complete.

Thanks to Coursera - Google! Excellent course on the "Fundamentals of UX Design", I really liked the treatment given to the different topics throughout the four weeks and most importantly the feedback and weekly practices of each aspect covered that allows you to fix the aspects studied. 100% recommended. It helps you to make the decision.

Michael was a great instructor, and the phasing and chunking of the course into parts was splendid. I like studying here better than in university! There's no rush to complete anything, and no unnecessary pressure imposed. I love learning for the sake of helping people, not in order to simply comply with grade requirements. Thanks Google!

Had so much fun doing this course! It's not all easy! I felt challenged all the way through, and it's only the first course! Luckily I should be able to learn enough each week to help me progress enough to grow a great deal. I feel very much like a fish out of water, in many ways, but also as though I am returning to old, familiar waters.

This course is such a great and empowering introduction to UX design! I was initially pretty intimidated by the idea of making a career change, but the readings and videos in this course are a great confidence boost! Especially because they emphasize the value of applying the skills and experiences I already have to my work in UX design.

This part of the program really helped me brush up on my foundations of UX and expand the frameworks I know.

I'm really used to the DIY type of learning where I search for free videos on YouTube. But having this sort of linear format really helped make my UI/UX knowledge go full circle. Onward to the other courses! I am loving it so far!

I felt so anxious pursuing my interest in UX Design because I felt like an imposter. I watched many youtube videos, but I could never truly understand what I was doing. This course has given me a strong sense of fundamentals, and offered me strong design insight from instructors who take you on a comprehensible user journey of learning.

Adorei o curso! Para quem nao sabia praticamente nada sobre UX design, hoje entendo os fundamentos, os processos de design e terminologias da area. Mesmo sendo um primeiro modulo mais teorico, tem um formato interativo e muito humanizado, trazendo questoes sobre autoconfianca inclusive. Ele da uma visao muito alem do design! Recomendo!

Finally, accessibility is an essential foundation of UX design. A product that is accessible to all users, regardless of their abilities, is more inclusive and has a broader audience. This involves using clear and concise language, providing alternative text for images, and ensuring that the product is usable with assistive technology.
