About the Course

Build Wireframes and Low-Fidelity Prototypes is the third course in a certificate program that will equip you with the skills you need to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience (UX) design. In this course, you’ll continue to design a mobile app for your professional UX portfolio. You’ll start by creating storyboards and getting familiar with the basics of drawing. Then, you'll create paper wireframes and digital wireframes using the design tool Figma. You’ll also create a paper prototype and a digital low-fidelity prototype in Figma. 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. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Develop a goal statement. - Create two types of storyboards: big picture and close-up. - Understand the difference between low-fidelity and high-fidelity design. - Apply the basics of drawing. - Apply the principles of information architecture to organize a mobile app. - Create paper wireframes for a mobile app design. - Develop digital wireframes in the design tool Figma. - Build a paper prototype to add interactivity to designs. - Design a low-fidelity prototype in Figma. - Recognize implicit bias and deceptive patterns in design. - Continue to design a mobile app to include in your professional portfolio. To be successful in this course, you should complete the previous two courses in this certificate program, or have an ability to conduct user research to inform the creation of empathy maps, personas, user stories, user journey maps, problem statements, and value propositions. You will also need paper and a pen or pencil....

I loved this course!! Gives you a taste of what s UX Designer does and gets you thinking like one. I loved creating wireframes and prototypes. This course got me excited to continue on in the program.

This course was by far my favorite as it challenged my knowledge from the previous two courses and it really got fun with the digital wire framing and prototyping. I am excited as ever to learn more!

This teaches very good baseline material that all designers should know. However, I feel like in the current work force and through my research some things could be streamlined and other things should have more effort put into them so that your portfolio really shines. For those reading this, DO NOT use the google template stuff as your actual portfolio!! Put in the effort to make your own presentations and put more effort into things such as your wireframes and prototypes so that when you get to the actual high fidelity prototype you have less work to do and your that much closer to a fully realized product.

The class was great, but peer graded activities are not always effective. A peer took points off my grade for the customer requested oval buttons instead of rectangles the peer said they like. Regardless, the button fit the activity requirements and no points should have been deducted!

The comment was also not considering biases so maybe they skipped those classes. It was "yo, bro...." whereas I am a female and I find the assumption of a "bro"-related, male workforce and classroom is completely disrespectful!

This course was excellent in helping to build actual skills for building wireframes and low-fidelity prototypes.

My only issue is the peer-graded assignments, sometimes there is no feedback from the peer who grades the assignment. This is not very helpful in situations where the assignment isn't as high a mark as you would like. It makes it difficult to know what you need to change in the assignment. A good solution would be to require the "peer" to give feedback in order to complete the assessment.

Again, I learned many useful things, for which I am grateful. The lecturer is very nice and it is very easy to learn from her. What I'm voting for with 4 stars is that the examples she gives during the video are different from what the students have to do next, and that confuses them and wastes their time. This is especially true of the big picture storyboard. I think that when some part of the material will then be evaluated, it should be taught correctly from the very beginning.

I think the times allotted for the assignments on Figma are VERY underestimated and should be updated to reflect the amount of time it should take to develop the prototypes in prototype. The times should be updated for creating the wireframes and drawing them in Figma and then connecting the frames. There are lots of Figma tutorials but it would be helpful to show commonly made mistakes in Figma and best practices or at least links to those resources.

This course was really good and offers a good high level overview of the concepts covered in the course. I do wish that each course dug deeper into the concepts more than they actually do. I will continue to go down this road of UX Design regardless because the courses are very interesting, easy to understand and are getting me on the right track of how to look for the information that I want/need to pursue this as a career.

I loved categorization exercises, I consider that type of exercise always helps me to understand better the UX Design role as well the real struggles of users. I was super excited about using Figma for the first time, was super pro!!

Apart from that, I would like to receive feedback from my peers, but they usually don't do that, so it would be a good habit that each one can incorporate.

This course itself is very useful and easy to understand. However, when I turned in my prototypes, I got an unfair grade from the peer review. Due to that, I needed to submit my work again to get full credit from somebody else.

It would be very nice if we can report it when we get grades that seem unfair, and let professionals/instructors check assignments.

Thank you!

This course was very good. The instructor's explanations and the resources were excellent. However, the peer grading system is quite bad. I was unfairly reviewed by someone because this person didn't know how to access the link. Instead of asking this person found it easier to fail me. I had to resubmit the same thing again making me waste my precious time.

4 stars! i think the Google UX Design Course is an excellent course however it is let down by peer grading! i think it is a terrible idea hence i gave 4 stars Google should employ someone professional to mark learners assignments as some peers do not mark fairly or cheat which is not fair on learners who worked very hard to complete assignments

It's difficult being graded by peers who are clearly not taking the course seriously. It can potentially set back students who are trying their best by having to re-submit misunderstood assignments, and the program allows them to leave a punctuation mark for credit when other's actually answer the prompts and would appreciate real feedback.

This was a tough course for me. I have never drawn anything before now. So when I had to draw wireframes and build that wireframe in Figma, that was a bit challenging. I still need help with my portfolio and building the low-fidelth prototype app that I have chosen. I am a bit stuck and need to ask someone a few questions.

i think all the steps taught by instructor are clear. all external link provided in reading page also very helpful. 1 thing to mention is i hope google can provide more related Figma tutorial link in this course, so that it makes the student know more about how to be a pro in figma! thanks you.

I love the course and all I have learned! My only advice - I am a graphic/web designer and I haven't worked with Figma. I needed info (links / advices) from you (the professionals) on what is the best practice to learn Figma in details so that I feel comfortable working with this tool in future.

I completed my lofi prototype on June 19 and had to resubmit it at least 3 times because of the link process not working. Moreover, trying to get assistance with why my progress was being delayed was almost impossible. It would be nice if someone from tech was more readily available.

The question about how to avoid hidden fees was difficult as there are more inclusive solutions. I understand that the answer with the calculator was from the reading, but it is a poor question as there are better solutions (like an itemized menu that you can collapse/expand).

This course was nice sweet and fairly short. I appreciated the 3 weeks worth of work instead of 4 and building wireframes and prototypes were fun and engaging. I still wish that peers did not review our work and trained instructors did so we could recieve real feedback.

I loved doing the wireframes and digital prototyping. However, with a physical disability, a lot of the instructions were not physically possible. Had to do a lot of 'work-arounds to complete the projects. I would like to see these courses be more inclusive.

Course dates reset too far in the future. I'd have to pay 3 months of subscription before I was able to get my completed assignments graded. There should be an easier way to reset the grade deadlines instead of having to wait for the deadline to pass.

Contents of this course are excellent. I just wish there was more types of evaluation than Peer Review - this course lacked concrete feedback or coaching. Would have like some more quizzes or practice exercises with model answers to compare to.

Very good course with good information. There are some out-of-sequence issues with information presented that may require you to go back to redo assignments you already did (which is really annoying). But, other than that, I learned a ton.

The content and assignments are fine. But I thought it was go-at-your-own-pace and yet I get "This item will be unlocked when the schedule begins." slowing me down on my day off. Pretty annoying and only reason I give it 4/5 stars.
