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....

User Experience Design” is often used interchangeably with terms such as “User Interface Design” and “Usability”. However, while usabilityOpens in a new tab and user interface (UI) designOpens in a new tab are important aspects of UX design, they are subsets of it – UX design covers a vast array of other areas, too. A UX designer is concerned with the entire process of acquiring and integrating a product, including aspects of branding, design, usability and function.

I really enjoyed the course. It was not too complicated, yet provided all the required general knowledge in a thorough way. The reading material repeated some of the information provided in the videos and I like it since it made it easier to comprehend.  I also appreciate the knowledge tests at the end of each section. The google team was very pleasant in the video, spoke clearly and pleasantly.   Looking forward to the next one.

I really enjoyed my first weeks in this course! I started with some doubts about if this course model was right for me and during the lessons I realized that I was really satisfied with it. The speaker is very charismatic and well-spoken. The most difficult thing to learn was also the most interesting, how to build my portfolio and have an online presence. This first weeks were very inspiring and I will be continuing this course.

It is a well-structured course, full of practical information. I loved the self-review parts, I also found the brief testimonials of UX designers very interesting and supportive. But what I liked the most is the design sprint part, which allowed me to have a peek into a real UX design work. I will surely recommend this course to anyone who considers taking up a new career path and want to resolve if UX design is the right one.

I can't help feel invigorated, revitalized, and just out excited after taking this intro level course. It gave me insight and taught me things in a very engaging/interacting way. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a potential career shift or even if you have the experience already just take a look and see the creative insight from others along the way to help inspire you along your own personal journey.

This was the perfect introduction to UX Design. Each week provides an in-depth understanding of what to expect as an entry-level designer. I truly felt that the curriculum provided such useful information that will prepare me for a successful future in UX. I was able to already start applying product design techniques to my company's product development approach. I am honestly eager to journey through the remaining program!!!

My experience was absolutely great!! I learned so much even though I already have year developing websites. Highly recommend for anyone getting started with UX Design. This course thought me the difference between User-Experience, End-user and User. I also learned that in UXDesign its very broad and a lot of opportunity from Visual Designer, Motion Designer, VR/AR Designer, UX Researcher, UXProgram, UXWritter, UXEngineer etc.

The course provides a good overview of the general themes of UX as in what it entails, what you'll be tasked to do as a UX designer, where the study comes from and where it is today. You'll also learn about the different methodologies used by teams throughout the UX phases to get a product from concept to completion. Overall, the course delivers on what its title suggests - a solid foundational knowledge of the field of UX.

this is a wonderful course to know what UX is and why it's important, what are the things UX designers do, how to make a digital precense, as for me, I am a non-English speaker, and I didn't often use English for day to day life, so my fluency level in English is not that good, even so, I can understand the contents Esaylly without much trouble. and Thank you Coursera for giving me this opportunity to enroll in this course.

It was a smooth and easy start as a beginner. Each step of the program was clear and easy to understand especially for those who are new to UX Design as I am. Supporting each lesson with examples and videos makes it easy to understand and mini quizzes help remember the terms better. Overall I highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to expand their knowledge about UX design or whoever wants to learn about it.

I really liked it - before I started I had a impression that I will only need to watch videos, but there is a lot of reading involved. I liked the tests where I needed to drag and drop correct answers - I learned a lot from that. The only thing is that - before starting this course I had been reading a lot about UX so a lot of things thought here I already knew. But as they say, repetition is the mother of learning. :D

Very well crafted. It is one of the best UX courses Online. Kudos to google team and Coursera for the same. It is really good and can't think of any improvement. However, I got confused initially, since the videos are already uploaded so why there is an start and end date provided for batches and due to this confusion ended up paying twice for same foundation course. That was the only issue otherwise course is good.

It was an absolute wonderful experience to learn and explore about UX designs design sprint research methods ..learning about bias was more helpful to understand we must keep our behaviour thoughts open to accept the results we find during reseach about our product design . empathy teach how to see the product from users point of view not us .it is really hekp to clear my mind about to start for UX design career

Highly interactive and comprehensive. I have severe ADHD and struggle to keep focus in most online classes, but this course keeps me engaged with read along transcripts for videos, interactive content, and classwork divided into manageable parts. I really appreciate the assistance with time management and the content! I have learned so much already and am so excited to take the next step in my career. 10 outta 10.

Aunque ya tenía algunos conocimientos básicos de Diseño UX, este curso está bien organizado y me sirvió para repasar los fundamentos y entender mejor algunas partes del proceso de diseño UX, a la vez, me permitió practicar mi inglés escrito, conocer sobre otros temas interesantes como: accesibilidad, equidad y los sesgos personales que podemos llevar a nuestro trabajo profesional. Recomiento ampliamente este curso.

An easy-to-follow step-by-step course in UX design, good for beginners and anybody dreaming of a new career. It does not matter what you have been doing professionaly up until now, this course might put you on a completely new career path.

The study-as-you-go formula allows you to squeeze it into even the busiest of calendars, so no more excuses - if working in UX design is your dream, you are just one click away!

This course was extremely helpful in providing all the practical knowledge to establish me in the job market. Very precise and to the point. Loved the experience with the ability to download the course material for later reference Also the notes and the questionnaires were designed in a way to help me gain knowledge and not only assess me. That was very helpful. Looking forward to learning more in upcoming courses.

As an Experienced Architect, who has gone through several layers of design master classes and research and having gone through this couse too. I am fully recommending it to any one who is interested to learn the basics of UX designs.

Simply put you get a detailed overview of things it took me years to gather in the design school just in a course. For me it was highly refreshing and i learnt alot of new things too.

I found this course easy to navigate and the prompts to be useful at the correct times! I thoroughly enjoyed the range of teaching in the video such as readings, videos, activities, etc - this kept things interesting for people like myself that likes engagment and variety. I could take this course at my own pace, and you could very easily pick up at wherever you had last left things. 5/5 - wouldn't change a thing.

This course was very good! I have learned how to choose between three design processes: The five elements of UX Design, Design Thinking and Design Sprint. In addition, I became updated with the last UX roles, because they changed across the years. The most difficult thing to apply is the portfolio building because it takes a lot of time, but I've learned that I should freeze some time spaces each week to do that.

I thought this was a nice introduction to the world of UX. The way the course is laid out is easy to follow. The quizzes at the end of each week are a good way to test my knowledge. I especially like being able to come back to it and review the concepts. Although some of the topics seem simple, I find that it is still challenging because I've yet to put them into practice. Overall a good start to this journey.
