About the Course

The focus of this course is to introduce the learner to User Experience (UX) Design User Experience design is design that is user centered. The goal is to design artifacts that allow the users to meet their needs in the most effective efficient and satisfying manner. The course introduces the novice to a cycle of discovery and evaluation and a set of techniques that meet the user's needs. This course is geared toward the novice. It is for learners that have heard about "user experience" or "user interface" design but don't really know much about these disciplines. The course mantra is that “Design is a systematic and data driven process.” Design is systematic because it is based on a set of techniques and also on a cycle of discovery. In this course the learner is introduced to the four step user interface design cycle. Along the way learners are exposed to a set of techniques to gather information about a) what the user needs b)how to design and model interfaces based on these and then how to evaluate the design to ascertain that the user's goals are met. These techniques are tools that are used in a standardized manner and give us the data we use in our design. This means that anyone (regardless of their current training) that is willing to learn these techniques and follow the proposed cycle can be a UX designer!...

Not bad, as a refreshment for the terms and basic knowledge for user research. But lack of practice and not update enough.

The content is very good, but the interaction and doubts posted in the fórum are forgotten by the creators of the course.

More detailing on how to design alternatives would have been useful. I felt like I did not learn much about that aspect.

It is a fundamental class, quite easy to understand for people who don't have any background about user experience.

Users should be able to manually review wrong answers, by 'locking in' their test result so they can't cheat.

A little bit repetitive/ vague at times, but good as a general introduction, which it is meant to be!
