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 a wonderful course that I've ever taken. I'm being proud of me that I've elected this particular course.

The way of taking their challenges (or tests) on a weekly basis had impressed me a lot.

Imagine going from zero to 100 in 30secs in a car. That's how it feels like to start this course with zero knowledge and become well versed in foundational design. I've learned things like design sprint, user research, personal branding, networking, connecting with the design community and lots more. I literally cannot wait to start the next course in the program.

The entire course is beautifully structured and quite insightful for novices in the user experience field; I have learnt a lot from this foundation course.

The only thing I believe we need to consider is how to overcome imposter syndrome should be at the start of the course or in the middle of the course to give students greater confidence in finishing their course.

This was a great learning experience for an newcomer like me to this field of UX design. This course was well designed and organized.

This course is very basic but it is exactly what it promises. I do undertsand that many complain about doing a portfolio when we dont yet have any UX work, but it helps to place in what you already have since a portfolio is a must to get a UX job. I really enjoyed a lot of the unexpected topics, such as imposter syndrome and learning about the Next Billion Users.

The best foundation course of UI/UX. Everything had such an elegant pace and teachers were easy to understand. The best thing about the course is the way topics are organized and placed in such a manner that whole course does not seem difficult. Even though it gets a little bit boring but it is foundation and theory always bores me but I got over it and it was fun.

Best course to take to get into UX with no actual background. It tells your everything, from job opportunities to expectations upon entry-level designers and best of all it is understandable and easy to navigate through. My experience doing this course has been phenomenal, I have never taken a course that is a thorough and simple yet informative as Google's course.

This was an amazing course to get started in the field of UX design. The instructors are very great at what they do. You get to know the job opportunities as a Beginner in UX design. You get to learn industry ideologies such as accessibility, design thinking, user bias, design sprint etc. All of these were a new learning for me. Overall, it was an amazing journey.

My overall experience so far is not limited to the above-mentioned topics and notes, they are many more, and I just can describe my experience so far as AWESOME, to be the first of seven upcoming courses.

Big thanks to the instructors Michael Dedrick, Shabnam Kashani, and the entire Google team for coming up with such an amazing course in partnership with Coursera.

I love learning and I enjoyed this course. It's very easy to understand and formatted for anyone who really wants to learn. Most of all, I love the process of being able to learn at my own pace since I have a full time job and a busy life. I actually completed the first part ahead of the predicted time. Thank you to those who created it with the user in mind.

It was such an amazing experience for me, having to take this course. Initial I was kinda skeptic about the whole thing but when I started, the first Instructor Michael made the Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design very easy to understand and the practicality simple. I am so happy taking this course and so excited to complete other six courses in UX Design.

This was an excellent way to kickstart my growing knowledge in the UX Design field! Before this course, I have barely any knowledge about what UX was, and now I have a very strong foundation in what it is and how UX designers around the world are making a huge impact on users globally, no matter who they are. I can't wait to join this growing team of superheroes!

I loved the thorough overview of the career path potentiality, general processes, goals and ways to create a full brand along with your creditials. I feel like connnections and networking, job search etc should be covered again at the end of the courses again to really secure that skill. especially for people with zero experience to tlak about on their accounts.

Firstly, I will not even bother to express how much I gained from and loved your ux design Course. There is no point in expounding upon how well organized it was, what a perfect balance of serious intent and good-humored fun it turned out to be, how impressive the participants were, and how much your generosity contributed. One of my favorite courses of all time.

The UX Design course from Google is exceptionally professional. Actually I did not expect that it would jump so in depth into different aspects of the UX field. Also highlighting how to build a professional career, building the right mindset and building confidence while enrolled. This course has structure and and prepares the student very well for the UX career.

Great course for beginners.

Good info, but not overwhelming.

The speakers were easy to understand even for a non native speaker like myself and pleasant to listen to.

I truly appreciated the downloadable notes and videos.

I liked the pop up questions during the videos to see if I am paying attention.

Looking forward to learning more.

Thank you for this opportunity.

In a mere 4 weeks you learn the basics of UX design, I'd say its based on Google's design process. It's great though! The only thing I'd say is that they throw lots of information at once. Coming from a graphic design background I ended up learning many new things and my understanding of this topic grew. Take advantage of the resource material it's insightful!

A really great, comprehensive introduction to UX Design. Touched on a lot of important topics that really dig into what UX Design means. Importantly, the course gave me a good glance at what working as a UX designer could be like, which ultimately helped me make a firm decision on whether to continue with the course or not. I will be moving on to Course 2 :)

Course 1 was a fantastic introduction to the Google UX Design Course! The presenters were very clear, easy to understand and to the point. Even though I have been working in the industry for a number of years; I still learnt new and useful material, and the reference links were especially insightful for additional reading. I look forward to the next readings!

This is just an exceptional course. It started with a general explanation of what User Experience is and then just got more detailed while showing a solid path to becoming a knowledgeable beginner at UX Design. A comprehensive strategy is shown to help you develop the skills and show your personal branding to become a well-rounded and successful UX Designer.

A great foundation for UX design. I was able to complete it in about 2.5 weeks, loved that it is self-paced and allows users to study when they are able to. The course was very informative and the building blocks for UX design. Looking forward to utilizing these resources and newfound knowledge on the upcoming projects and real-world scenarios (eventually).
