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 is quite comprehensive, but the first two courses mainly focus on what design is, not on how to design. starting with a project would be more affective and the course would be less boring.

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.

It is a very useful introduction to UX Design, which allows you to comfortably enter the more specific study. Mentors have a very nice, clear, and understandable language and pronunciation. Thank you, Google and Coursera!

Knowing the fundamentals is what makes you create and formal. Coursera did a good job breaking down the basics of this course. I really like how professional the tutors were in their presentation. I give this course 5 🌟.

Good format but was hard for me to stay focused. Simple, linear, and gave general knowledge. I couldn't help but be distracted by the non-emotional invoking teleprompter reading. Thats my issue though! I liked the course.

I learned a lot about the basics of UX/UI design. I had a brief idea before starting this course, but this gave me more confidence in the knowledge I already had, and helped me in areas that were still a little confusing.

I certainly walked away feeling like I am now into a rich world and culture that I'm just touching the surface of, yet I can now understand at least 90% of the job postings regarding UX work now. Looking forward to more!

This course really helped me understand the basics of UX design and sprint planning. It doesn't just teach about UX design but also about how an entry-level designer can grow by finding a mentor and building a portfolio.

I absolutely loved it. It was a great experience and I learned several new things. I can't wait to continue my journey. I really like how humanized it is, although its virtual and I love the diversity and inclusion of it.

Splendid.

The tutors are charmingly encouraging,

The clips are curated ascendingly,

The drills are inserted as at when due,

The write ups are like a delightful avenue;

The course remains a pacesetter into the world of UI/UX.

This is exactly what I needed to kickstart my UX/UI adventure. Love how everything is organized! Bite sized chunks instead of 3 hour long lectures. Now on to the other 6 courses! Thank you Google! And thank you Coursera!

It touches the basic of UX and build network and portfolio. I thinks the program is well constructed and easy to understand but some activities may takes a little more time to complete I think but it definetley worth it.

Clear and easy-to-understand instructions allow people who have no foundation to enter the threshold smoothly. It is highly recommended for those who want to learn but are worried that the course is too difficult to use.

Perfectly informative for someone who missed basics, coming from someone who is in graphic design world for 6 years. Though, creating a portfolio without any work with UX projects to show would be hard! Good luck to all!

I'll be honest, it feels slow and tedious during this course but I found everything to be educational and helpful to provide a solid foundation and understanding of what UX Designers do and how they go about their work.

Great course and very detailed. Creates a great base on what you should expect from the UX world. It can be a little slow at first but the teachers make sure you understand every step before building on that knowlege.
