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 ;)

The course facilitates the entry-level designer to comprehend the fundamental knowledge of UX design. It's a good base on realizing the user-centered design for everyone who has a different background to start the new chapter of this industry easily.

Starting this journey wasn’t easy to be honest but what's funny is that a lot was learned in the space of 4 weeks. We have great instructors with wide knowledge of the topics and i must say, everything was broken down to have a better understanding.

I'm officially getting into the UI role in 2 weeks and am nervous. I'm studying these courses intensively. I had a lot of design fundamentals, but I wasn't sure I could do the job. By taking this course, I became confident and I was enriched inside.

Plenty of linked articles and content. Thorough learning experience. Generally includes an intro video then articles that go deeper into the video concept. Afterward there are quizzes to help you retain and discussions for you to process and relate.

This course has been great. I've learned a lot, and the lectures were easy to understand. There were several exercises which helped to 'internalize' what had been just learned theoretically. Can't wait to use this knowledge in an actual work space!

I appreciate the pace that knowledge is being expelled as well as the repitition, preclosuion video, detailed explanation video, and then further indepth reading content. Covers multple learning techniques. I feel it helps with content absorbtion.

It would be nice to have a way to track your posts and comments on the discussion topics once you leave the page of the course that you left the comment on.

I think those prompts are a really good way to encourage active engagement with the course.
