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 helped me become aware of my own shortcomings and taught me to be sensitive towards myself and others as they are also humans and in their own journey! that is, if you look at the bigger picture ;)

É muito completo, didatico e responsável, pois fala muito sobre a empatia, conhecimentos prévios ou preconceitos que cada um pode implementar atrapalhando a percepção do Design. Foco total na experiência do Usuário. É algo bem completo, em todos os sentidos.

Wish some live sessions with the designer @ google could have been added. A great course , nicely structured. Every one should take it . It really fills the gaps even if you have experience and I am pretty sure that you will definitely gain from this course.

Honestly, and without being biased towards this program I do feel that this course was well done. The introduction helped teach me quite a lot since I am currently apart of a completely different industry. I am excited to keep going to make a career switch!

I have attended some online courses in the past but this is very different. It feels like life lecture, the videos, book, popup quiz and test makes the whole course feel like a real life class. I really enjoy it and can´t wait to finish the remaining course

I have walked away with more than I'd expected to learn. I love the fact that they placed short videos about different people in their UX fields to talk about what they do. I loved all the lecturers, their personalities and the are knowledge they brought.

I thought the course was well put together, somewhat challenging and engaging. I compelted a 4-week regimen in slightly over a week. This course was mostly theoretical and focuses on learning the basics. That made it easier to walk through it a bit faster.

This a worthy course to take if you are interested in UX Design. The course curriculum guides you to understand the basics, and what to expect from a career in this field and provides you with external resources for you to expand your knowledge and skills.

A good overview on the field of UX and its possibilities. The content was straightforward and well-organised, and teaching was dynamic, well-chunked, and engaging. I liked this delivery format and I loved the materials offered (e.g., glossaries, readings).

Um curso sucinto e direto. Prático? Não é o foco deste curso, mas sim fornecer conceitos cruciais para o início de qualquer estudante. Se você já possui conhecimento e deseja apenas o certificado, ainda assim é uma oportunidade para revisar o que já sabe.

It so far has been great! I think it would be great to mention more ideas on if we are trying to freelance and add this to an existing business skill as well, for those who aren't taking this course to directly become a fulltime UX Designer. Thanks! oden

Great efforts by all the Google's instructors and Coursera. Everything was so interesting and fascinating that it attract to do the course all the time. At times it got boring because of readings, but overall brilliant work. Thanks to Google and Coursera!
