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 is pretty good. You learn new things even as someone who has some idea of what UX is. Would recommend to those who want to start learning because it is affordable and provides valuable information.

Looking forward to the second course in the certificate. I agree with one reviewer who said that having to start a portfolio website, social profiles, etc. in one week alongside all the other work for week 4 is a bit much but I guess the idea is to get something up and make improvements along the way.

This was an excellent choice for me, considering that I have been waiting to expand my knowledge of UX for some time now. There was a lot I learned here, like Research Methods, Research Biases, Some key fundamentals when it comes to being a UX designer, there is a lot of value that the course offers.

Although some of the wording used in some questions asked in the quizzes needs to be less confusing, for the most part this has been a great experience. It may be nice to alert the learner to a longer time-period needed to complete week 4 since you are building a website for a portfolio to be housed.

Great introductory course, complete with video (with transcription in any language), exercises, readings, student forums, etc. Very well explained, inclusive as well. The course is done in a way to help encourage you to keep going, it's motivating and rewarding. It felt good to start studying again.

The course did well in introducing me to the world of User Experience Design. The videos were very informative yet short enough to keep me engaged, and the activities helped reinforce the ideas I learned in the videos and readings. I am excited to continue my journey in learning all about UX Design!

What an amazing experience! This is my first time on Coursera and I loved it. The dinamics of instructors and short videos were fantastic; the material, practices, quizzes and exams were challenging but enriching. Everything was very easy to understand and very inspiring to keep learning. Thank you!

The first course in this specialization indeed was a basic foundation that every aspiring UXer should take. All the concepts and informations contributed by the google employees particularly Michael, the lead instructor of the course was excellently composed and planned for. I learned a lot from it!

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.
