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....

Just an amazing course. At the beginning I was not sure if I could complete the course. Even though i had absolutely no knowledge or experience in UX design, I was able to complete it. No, I hope I know something about it. Recommend to everyone.

Very well presented and thorough. As someone completely new to UX design, I really appreciated how the course material was presented. It should come as no surprise that it was a very user-centered delivery. :-) Can't wait for Courses 2 to 7!

Very helpful and very detailed. The course enables you to take a step directly into the real world from the first week itself and makes you aware of so many things such as inclusivity, equity, biases that aren't usually taught in online courses.

Excellent overview of the history, theory, and research methodology needed to create effective research studies and apply that learning through usable, useful, equitable and enjoyable-to-use designs with full attention on the user's experience.

Was really amazing! Only thing I batted an eye to was learning about design sprints. As someone who's team can't necessarily use such a workflow its kind of obsolete. But to people who work in a bigger company this is completely understandable!

Good foundation. The lingo used in UX designing might be overwhelming to someone with zero knowledge and skills about computers and stuff, but the downloadable glossary of terms and the assigned readings make the course more "understandable".

It's been over 10 years since I've taken any kind of classes. The way this course was organized made it very easy to follow along - even for someone like me who struggles with ADD and staying focused. I'm eager to continue with my UX courses!

Thorough and simple to navigate. The creators of this course took their time designing it, and you can tell by their use of mixed media and accessible features that they care about the outcomes of the learning experience. 100% would recommend.

Hello!

Great detail into the intro of UX design and also forces students (in a good way) to get started and thinking about their portfolio and networking strategy which not many courses do on other platforms. Fantastic work! Thanks Google & Coursera

I couldn't stay with just one knowledge, I feel that it is very complete and that it handles all aspects of ux design for a person who wants to start and even prepares them to meet the experience, which is the best way to learn from practice.
