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.

This was a fantastic introductory course to UX Design!! The instructor, Michael, was super engaging and encouraging. As someone with zero experience in the field of UX Design, this course provided a great overview of what it's like to be a UX Designer and the work that goes into it. I look forward to continuing the next courses!

The "Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design" course is a great starting point. It covers the basics well, including user-centered design and research methods. It's practical and easy to understand for beginners. However, it could use more depth and interactive elements. Overall, it’s a solid foundation for those new to UX.

I am so impressed with the way the course laid out. I wasn't prepared for the online presence and portfolio part. But that was brilliant because you get you to build your online presence and portfolio through these courses. Moreover, you get insight from real designers who work for Google which is very informative and helpful.

It is so exciting to finish the first course. I never thought it would be such a thoughtful course that is really friendly to people with zero experience in this industry. After taking this course, I became more confident about the ability to join this industry. Thanks to all the people who devoted themselves to this program.

I truly appreciate this course! I have learned so much about the foundations of UX design. I entered this course with absolutely no knowledge about UX design and left with 91% of knowledge on the topic. Thanks to Google and their amazing team. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants insight into UX design and more.

O curso possui uma didática muito boa, fácil aprendizado, uma plataforma eficaz onde você consegue se encontrar com facilidade. A única questão para apontar como uma possível critica seria a falta da disponibilidade em outros idiomas, acho que facilitaria para quem não é nativo ou fluente em Inglês. No resto super recomendo.

Everything that I have learned so far in these past 4 weeks have been so beneficial and so interesting to learn about. Everything that I've learned about UX design has not only benefited my UX design journey, but it has also benefited me personally because it focused on things that are now helping me grow personally as well.

I loved it; a great course, at least for me; thanks to all involved in creating it. The only issue I have it's about filling out certain tasks on my Ipad, Browser or the Coursera app is not really doable; I would like to be able to complete the course on any medium especially if Coursera has apps for that specific medium :)

This was a beautifully crafted introduction into the world of UX for someone who had no baseline. I have always been a freelance designer, dibbling and dabbling in the things that inspired me in that season, not knowing that part of my passion was rooted in UX. Thanks Google for the introduction. I can't wait to learn more.

J'ai suivi des cours sur Linkedin Learning et le contenu n'égale pas un instant la qualité des cours Google. Les contenus sont très bien expliqués, précis, pleins d'exemples concrets, les exercices optionnels nous permettent de construire une réflexion sur des sujets du cours et surtout les contenus ne sont pas indigestes.

Indeed a great foundational course to delve into the UX field. I really loved the way this course is designed. For me, it was like listening to a story and solving some interesting puzzles.

Me encantó el curso, aprendí mucho. Muy bien organizado para dar un pantallazo general y dar un vistazo a todos los campos que integran la UX. También pude sumar conocimientos aplicables a la vida misma lo que lo hace cercano. El curso es muy interesante y motivador. Tengo muchas ganas de seguir para terminar la carrera
