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.

I've learned so much in such a short time. I am very excited to move forward with the certificate. I have conditioned myself to avoid most information out there concerning UX because I want to drill into Google's approach. I believe it will serve me well in the future with a solid foundation in UX.

Basic foundations for starting your career in the field of UX.

It covers all important material to get a strong foundation to rely the rest of the course with practical exercises and very organised and structured notes. Also, very helpful to have real interviews with internal employees from Google.

Great introduction to the UX design. I learned a lot from the content provided. Wonderfully crafted lessons.

The course may have been better if the readings had some accesibility features like, tts, changing font sizes, differing contrast, and eye friendly mode (different color background and font).

Absolutely loved this course. It was a great experience. The speakers were good designers who shared their vision from beginning to end. I do it just for a few weeks, and I am happy to receive my certificate. I will recommend those who want to learn UI UX Design from scratch. Thank you, Googlers!

I definitely learned of important fundamental principles of UX Design in this course. The course was well laid out and very informational but clear and concise. There were things mentioned in this course such as taking into consideration biases that may affect the end outcome of an overall design.

I feel like I was able to comprehend the course well, and I actually had a lot of fun learning about the foundations of UX design! This might sound like an advertisement, but I actually feel like the information was worded in a way that I could understand easily, and the videos were a nice touch.

A couse wich I think is very rich and vast in both quantity and quality of content. I liked a lot but what caught my attention the most were the accessibility content and biases. Because it is the most complex, I also believe it is the most difficult task to learn. I feel enriched by the course.

I have learned so much in the first course of this program. Throughout this course, I felt like gradually and systematically finding the missing pieces in a large puzzle game. Definitely worth joining, even for someone with existing visual design experience like myself. Best of luck for everyone!

One sentence for this course is, "If you want to enter into the field of UX Design, there is no other place to get started." I would like to rate this course more than five stars, because understanding nuances in the new field is the key to success. Thank you, Google for such a wonderful course.

The most interesting thing for me was to learn about the frameworks and fields in UX that help you structure and professionalize creative work. I also love that there were so many call to actions through the activity assignments and that I was challenged to network and start building a portfolio.

This is an overall very thorough course that encompasses UX methodologies and hands-on learning. It's a well-thought-out course for those who can't afford a UX boot camp. I highly recommend it; for the money, you can't beat it. The instruction is top-notch, making it an excellent course overall.

This was an excellent basic intro to UX design. I learned so much just from this short course. Plus, if you have a lot of time on your hands then this could be completed in like one week compared to if you do a little bit every day then it could take the entire 4 weeks. But good course overall!

The flow of the course was very nice and built with us in the center, I can only say that it was a good design ;) . Most of the parts were easy to understand and were me-friendly and it was too engaging to leave out a day without doing the course.

Thank you for providing such an engaging course.

Es increíble contar con la experiencia de un gran profesional y aún más que desde su experiencia en google nos cuenta como crece y soluciona varias problemáticas internas para expandir un campo visual a los que llevamos tiempo si, pero que enseña que cada día se aprende algo nuevo y diferente.
