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....

The experience was overall positive, although I'd like to point out that some concepts and information are being repeated a tad too much. Repetition helps knowledge retention but can also make the learning repetitive and uninteresting. Quizez are there to remind you of those concepts, there should be no need to rely on both video and articles to repeat the same concepts (specially in the articles).

I thought I had an idea about UX design based on what I had read/watched before taking the course. Now, I have more in-depth knowledge and understanding of the UX design fundamentals, tactics, and different methods, which are crucial building blocks before moving forward. There is still a lot more to learn, and I cannot wait to continue and help people in the future. Remember to take lots of notes!

A powerful course. Covers every necessary aspect of "Introduction to UX Design" allowing you to stay focused, structured and engaged.

Great lecturing - lectures make sure to deliver a great structured content while being engaging with you. And they always ALWAYS motivates you to achieve our goals.

Community engagement is a great way to establish new relationship with people who are in the same field.

This course was very thorough yet easy to get through. I enjoyed Emily the most as she is a great instructor. Her warmth radiates through the screen and captures your full attention. She has made me excited to enter this next course and focus on User Research and more. I grew a bit weary of so many educational videos, but they were relatively short and to-the-point. Thank you Coursera and Google!

At first, I was so skeptical of starting this course even after reading reviews but I am so glad that I decided to truly give it a chance! If you take it serious, take notes, and review after your quizes there is so much to learn. It can be overwhelming when it's all new but being so interested in completing all 7 courses really motivates you to keep going and put the work in to make it worth it!

Thank you about part about creating my personal brand at the beggining of this course.

I really love this course! All the instructors and Googler's speed are amazing and touching, also easy to understand. I have to say Google did a really good job in terms of user experience, and my goal of learning this course is to work with Google after I graduated. This is my biggest dream now! The most important thing is I believe in myself, especially after learning this course! Love Google!❤️

This course was exactly as it was presented. It gave us a basic introduction to the processes and ideas of what UX design entails. The way the info is presented, both in video format and reading format, helps me retain more information as a learner. I was impressed to learn that some of our knowledge that we already have can be applied to UX design. I am looking forward to the remaining courses.

I absolutely love this course, I love the most how after each detailed video, there is a reading that explains everything that was in the video, but with more in-depth details. I love how interesting this made me. I finished this course in 2 and a half weeks and I am so proud of myself. It was really ingaging and definitely helped me feel like this is going to be really detailed and fun for me.

One of the most coolest courses I have taken , Maybe beacuse of my interest and curiousity in the subject but also with superb instructors who are focusing not only in providing knowledge but also in dealing with real life issues like Imposter syndrome which is some of the dark phases in one's life.

Thankyou Google and the team behind this course for curating this course in such a superb manner.

Now I know more about how to identify the user's needs, how the team finds a way to solve the user's problem. I understand more what it means to be empathetic to all people, with different characteristics and histories, and how to avoid biases. It was interesting to see the leading specialists and be inspired by their example. Now, most of all, I want to thank you for the knowledge I received!

Es un curso excelente, tiene los fundamentos de UX e incluye muchos elementos que te ayudan a fortalecer el conocimiento, abarca gran parte del trabajo en tecnología e incluye una parte excelente sobre el sindrome del impostor que te ensena mucho. Soy de Colombia y no tengo gran experiencia con el inglés pero aún así con los subtitulos en inglés logré entender todo lo que se trataba en el curso

As someone who is neurodiverse, coming into this course, I had no idea what to expect. I was worried it would be hard to follow- but that was so far from the case. This course is interesting (it held my teensy ADHD induced attention span really well!), easy to follow yet still high educational. I found it so interesting to hear just how much User Experience Design effects everything around us.

He disfrutado mucho de esta introducción, creo que es muy completa para iniciarse en el mundo del UX design y tener los conocimientos básicos para seguir avanzando. Se puede realizar en poco tiempo ya que tiene el balance justo entre dificultad y el flow para ir avanzando rápido. Los instructores son muy amenos y se nota que disfrutan tanto de la enseñanza como de su trabajo! Muy recomendado!

This course is a life changer. I have learned so much about UX design in just a few day that I don't think it would have been possible otherwise. the fact that it is a self paced course makes it even better as one doesn't have to wait for the next lecture to be released. I cant wait to start the second course. thank you Google and all the instructors for making this knowledge available to us.

I really enjoyed taking this! I had been feeling pretty lost in going for an associates in graphic design. I'm still studying it at a community college, but I didn't feel any motivation or even know what I was wanting to do. After taking this, I feel inspired to learn more about the UX design field. I know that with learning this and graphic design, I'll have some good skills under my belt!

For me, it was a great start. Now I know what the process is and what's going on in the UX. Last day I answered some questions of a senior UX designer about User research and designing for different platforms, and that was cool. The process was fluent and full of empathy and learning. Special thanks to google and Coursera. I just can't wait to start the next course with google's great team.

I like how the instructor at Google introduce themselves In specialization of UX they are in. The spontaneous testing and user forums Keep me on my toes. Then the cumulative testing to make sure that I remember. They also provide a written review after each video of instructor so you can read and reiterate what you heard in the video. I like this way of learning. I will keep going… Thanks!
