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....

I appreciate the pace that knowledge is being expelled as well as the repitition, preclosuion video, detailed explanation video, and then further indepth reading content. Covers multple learning techniques. I feel it helps with content absorbtion.

It would be nice to have a way to track your posts and comments on the discussion topics once you leave the page of the course that you left the comment on.

I think those prompts are a really good way to encourage active engagement with the course.

What I've learned in this course will definitely help me collaborate more effectively with the UX Designers I work with. I may even consider roles in UX design in addition to, or in place of, roles I usually fill in web development (engineering).

I never had such a solid continuous structure at the beginning of my career as ux, although I have been working for more than 3 years, everything that I was able to acquire in this introductory course and excited about the rest is very important.

Отличный курс. Мне очень нравится подача материала, так как он изложен чётко и без лишней воды. По тому, как преподаватели преподносят материал чуствуется, что они действительно хотят преподать научить тебя, а не просто отрабатывают свои деньги.

Just an amazing course. At the beginning I was not sure if I could complete the course. Even though i had absolutely no knowledge or experience in UX design, I was able to complete it. No, I hope I know something about it. Recommend to everyone.

Very well presented and thorough. As someone completely new to UX design, I really appreciated how the course material was presented. It should come as no surprise that it was a very user-centered delivery. :-) Can't wait for Courses 2 to 7!
