About the Course

Conduct UX Research and Test Early Concepts is the fourth course in a certificate program that will equip you with the skills you need to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience (UX) design. In this course, you will learn how to plan and conduct a usability study to gather feedback about designs. Then, you will modify your low-fidelity designs based on insights from your research. 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. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Plan a UX research study, including the project background, research goals, research questions, Key Performance Indicators, methodology, participants, and script. - Explain the importance of respecting privacy and user data. - Conduct a moderated and unmoderated usability study. - Take notes during a usability study. - Create affinity diagrams to group and analyze data. - Synthesize observations from research and come up with insights. - Develop persuasive presentation skills to share research insights. - Modify low-fidelity designs based on research insights. - Continue to design a mobile app to include in your professional portfolio. To be successful in this course, you should complete the previous three courses in the certificate program. Or, you need to have an ability to conduct user research to inform the creation of empathy maps, personas, user stories, user journey maps, problem statements, and value propositions; as well as an ability to create wireframes and low-fidelity prototypes on paper and in Figma....

Hardcore. Hardcore is the first word coming to my mind when I finally complete the course. On one hand I totally understand research actually is the key in the whole certificate courses; on the other hand I keep screaming and cursing when trying to finish the submission. Every submission includes correlating steps and you can't just skip any of it. Respect! UX researchers and desginers.

This course was very useful for me because I had never conducted a usability study and needed a test like this to acquire this skill. I'm not new to wireframing and prototyping in Figma, but this experience was really interesting, especially when combined with the research conducted alongside it. I'm very glad to have taken part in this course! Thank you, Google and Coursera!

This course was fantastic at learning how to create a research plan, conduct a usability study, and analyze information from the study for next steps. There was a lot of support to do all of this with the guided assignments and resources. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to learn more about the basics of conducting UX Research and test designs.

Probably the most important course in this whole certificate program. The need for proper user-focused research is highlighted and once you see how it affects your design decisions, you realize how important it is to have the user's input on your designs. The instructors teach the information clearly and effectively, my favourite course in this certificate.

I learned all the steps to conduct Conduct UX Research from start to finish. Usability Study is the step where we present our design to users and receive feedback, and it is very important to do it right, this course shows all the steps and provides it.

It explains the Plan, Research, Analyze & Synthesize and Share in different weeks and is very effective!

This course is absolutely worth it. I can say confidently that this course taught me to handle feedback not just in User Experience but my life as a whole. I really enjoyed this course. My favorite part of the course was observing participants during usability studies. Big thanks to the Course Instructor, Google and Coursera for this course.

Wow, what a challenging and informative course. Research is key to creating a great application and design. I have learned so much and had difficult times, but I pushed on and it paid off. I hope to take all that I have learned into my future roles in the field. Thank you to all the instructors and staff who worked putting this together.

Perhaps, the most important of the courses I attended so far. Moral lesson: There is no point in designing if your designs are not understandable, not usable, and do not offer a pleasant experience for users. Interacting with research participants provides valuable information on whether what you have in mind resonates with users.

ux design is one of the platform who build the essentials skills you need to launch a career and learn how to solve real world ux problems. To work with such a professionally managed group which offers challenging and dynamic environment to work. I would welcome an opportunity to consolidate and expend this quest foe knowledge.

The course was quite insightful and educative. It was challenging too, but I enjoyed every bit of it. The videos and additional materials were very comprehensive and I must also say that Jason was brilliant throughout the course. It was also nice to see Michael again after a long while.

Thank you, Google. Thank you, Coursera.

This was a very well structured and didactic course. The course advisor was very clear and direct, had great knowledge in the area and the challenges and the activities were well elaborated and had a very efficient guidance, which helped a lot when doing the different works that were developed in the course.

This course is really great! Honestly, even if you aren't studying UX, I found this course was very helpful for research tactics. Jason, who hosted the videos, was very engaging. And though I wasn't looking forward to the course and assumed it would be boring, it was actually a lot of fun to go through.

Calmness personified is what I will call this instructor, also I get a family-vibe from the instructor, hence why I rated the course 5-star, because I felt tutored by someone familiar in a sense. Course made me understand a lot about conducting research and synthesizing findings to produce insights.

learned good stuff, for me easier bc the technology is getting a bit easier to grasp as someone who has been away from workforce for 10yrs and barely uses apps. I appreciate the peers not being overly harsh on those of us who are keeping it basic, some people it is obvious have more experience.

It does really help me to deliver a good presentation for the team and make the stakeholder support my research. It is somehow I find it difficult to conduct research online especially when there's a technical issue like a connection and device. Overall, I'd recommend this course to my friends.

At the beginning of the course, i was really having a concern on how the instructor was teaching. but after first and second class, i was able to flow along with him. the course on its own was in-depth and challenging in terms of assignments. thanks google for such a beautiful course.

Hello and I think that this course is very important for the development of the final prototype, this research stage does not help to improve our final prototype, I found it very interesting more than all the research and data collection methods, I am excited to start the next course

Great course. This takes some logical steps that I see rarely used in the real world. I have spent over 30 years delivering solutions to clients and this piece was never discussed. I learned that insights from user testing can be greatly valuable in building solutions a user wants.
