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 is pretty good. You learn new things even as someone who has some idea of what UX is. Would recommend to those who want to start learning because it is affordable and provides valuable information.

The design of this course is fantastic! I love that it's self-paced and that the content is broken down into short videos and reading assignments. I also love connecting with other students in the UX slack channel. I'm excited to continue the Google UX program and land a UX job

Very well structured course, with mixed media to keep the course interesting and varied all the way through. Very concise and forms a great basis into UX design. From personal experience this course will prepare you more for an industry job than 3 years at university did for me

Self-discipline and perseverance are the most challenging aspects of any endeavor. A full-time job, housework, other training required by the company, and other social events can be a challenge for me to manage. But I'm confident that I'll get better over the next few months.

The teachers were excellent guides who helped to grasp the concept more effectively and efficiently. It was surreal to learn so much from so many individuals. Thank you, Coursera for giving me this opportunity and the Google team for designing this terrific educational plan.

Tons of great information, well-organized into small lessons that are easily digested. The video presenters are all excellent, delivering clear and informative lectures. The extra-curricular links and readings are also very good, and I bookmarked many of them for future use.

I really enjoyed this course. It has covered all the topics in-depth which people who are new to UX will understand easily. Self -paced and the assignments were also as interesting as the course since you will be able to understand how much difference little things can make.

Amazing course. Videography is so good even it's changing every 15 to 25 second zoom in, zoom out or animation. Doesn't get bore like typical course. Active learning even its a video course. Strongly course content structure.

Highly recommended for the beginner to UX field.

Focused, accessible, organized and generous. In addition to subjects expected, like design sprints, I appreciated the sections on accessibility, equitable design and the next billion users, and the time spent on developing a personal brand and getting over imposter syndrome!

The course should have involved a free web domain I think, cause we have to make another one on another site, except that I thin the course is excellent, and a great job from Google. I really loved doing the course, Koodos hope I get a job after completing all the courses ;)

It's important to recognize the foundation of UX. After this course, I began to utilize all the principles in my day-to-day work subconsciously. This course really validates the psychology and decision making in an UX role. Very helpful course for all levels of UX designers!

Detailed information is available and the theory gives one a good understanding of what can be expected in UX design even if you were not previously introduced to this field.

I love the way the course is structured, videos, reading and quizes/assignments.

Thank you GOOGLE!

This was a very good course, however I thought that this was for the entirety of the course and not just for 1 section of 7. I believe that part was confusing, however depsite that misunderstanding, I really enjoyed this course and am excited to continue learning UX Design.

I like to way of the teach by Google. Because some UX courses just give a piece of knowledge about technology and UX design rules. However this was holistic, I can say it covers sociology, psychology, and technology, and even more as it's supposed to be human in the center.

Hi there! This course is fantastic for newbies like me. I have thoroughly understood the term UX and what all happens in the process. UX is a vast subject and all the fundamentals have been covered in this course. I can't wait to start my next course and get my hands on UX.
