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....

The course was very comprehensive and easy to understand. The instructors made sure that they are giving the information in a way that won't make me confused. Thank you so much for this great course!

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.

Good introduction to UX design, the accessibility part is very interesting. The last week of the course moves away from UX design and explains how to make a portfolio, something that in my opinion is a bit premature but is also very helpful.

Very intuitive and interesting course to learn the basics. Many people might think they could skip this course, but personally I think it was an in-depth review of what a UX designer is, and a great course to understand what they really do.

Insightful course, a great way to learn about the fundamentals + terminology, as well as some of the more abstract psychological road blocks that may come up if you are new to the design world.

Keep in mind: WYSIWYG

Very detailed and well explained! The instructors are using basic English so everyone can understand. The tasks are clear, and I can see how I'm going to be able to present something on my first UX designer job without proper experience.

I thought this course was very informative and was easy to follow. It provided a great introduction into the field of UX. I think that it would be nice, though, to have more portfolio examples from individuals without a design background.

muy interesante, el contenido estaba hecho para 4 semanas y terminé en dos, me encanta el detalle de que te hacen preguntas durante el video para ver si quedó claro, y la variedad de los materiales. Cuando es solo video tiende a aburrir.
