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 been a great start, however creating a portfolio doesn't seem quite feasible within this time frame. I will now enroll in webflow university to better understand and get started on the portfolio.

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.

This is was an awesome experience for me, the course was easy to understand even though I had no prior knowledge in Ux design. But i noticed that I have been involved in designing services for users that takes UX design process. The course instructors were helpful in teaching this foundational course, looking forward to the next course

this has been one of the most exciting courses i have ever done. As a Business Analyst, my approach to requirement gathering has indeed been lacking many aspects i have covered in this course. one key statement i have picked out of this foundation is "We are not the users" hence user should be front-and-center when designing solutions.

The information is clear and comprehensive. I feel like I have a much better understanding of what UX is and what a UX Designer does. It's an overview, but the information is specific enough that I was actually learning new things throughout, and it helped me confirm that UX design is something I want to continue learning more about.

This course was the best online course that I have taken so far. The instructors did a fantastic job teaching foundational UX design concepts. They not only covered a lot of things about UX design but also talked about their experiences in the field. I'm excited to learn more. Thank you Google and Coursera for offering this course.

Wonderful course. I was captivated. Beautifully designed, structured, and produced, with a great mixture of videos, reading assignments, quizzes, writing assignments with good prompts, links to external resources -- I was floored. I've been through too many online classes that were lackluster at best, but this course was marvelous.

The course gave a basic insight about UX as a profession, UX research, Design sprints, and the way of understanding and observing the User's experiences with broader aspects.

I liked the interaction with Google Instructors, The activities, and the structured module, The test helped me to recognize and to practice my knowledge a lot.

It was useful. Even if I had been familiar with the qualitative, quantitative, primary, and secondary research, I still found it useful. I had known that at some point in my career as a UX Designer I would have to deal with research to become an experienced and professional UX Designer, and now I realize how. Thanks a lot for that.

Before starting the course I did not have any idea about the UX design field.Now I think that I have a much more wide vision about the profession. I was satisfied with the lectures, the assignments, and the additional readings. Finally, I really enjoyed the insights that I got from the experiences of people working as UX designers.
