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!...

In the steps of User Experience Design, I got how to go through all four stages; Requirements gathering, Alternative designs, Prototyping, and Evaluation to design and get a good product on the table.

Concepts are easy to understand and follow. However, I would have liked more exercises with plan of attack of a given short scenario to help with memorability.

The course is amazing; however, I lacked more examples during the sessions. It would be great to include them in each lesson and in each particular subtopic.

As a designer, I suggest that the instructor could show more examples of apps that is really effective for the user experience during the Module Prototyping.

Overall the course was quite informative considering it as an introductory course. However, as it is a design course, I was expecting more visual examples.

Even when the course is just an introduction, I believe there should be more examples or tips to create surveys, interviews, etc. for data gathering.

I enjoyed the material and the ability to retake quizzes at the end of each module. I however would like a different approach than the long videos.

This is literally the introduction. It covered things i mostly knew. But its a good starting point for those who have no idea about the UX industry.

The course was great, the only reason I give it 4 out of 5 stars is that it would be good to feature more examples, maybe from real projects/apps.

Good intro, some janky formatting for the quizzes however and many extra reading links were broken. For free knowledge, this was pretty good.

It will be more interesting to have more graphics instead of just text in every video to make it easier to understand and to be more dynamic.

Very bare bone overview of user experience design. I wish the class was long and more interactive, but good considering it is a free course.
