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....

If turning back time, I would like to start this course since day one I started to curious about UX rather than waiting until I am sure. This is very well-structured beginning of not only the UX content but the career path itself. It is very informative, practical and inspiring through the lens of professionals.

I liked the Coursera Google UX Design course. It taught me how to make good user experiences. The course had quizzes, assignments, and feedback. The teachers were experts and gave examples and tips. The course also had a community and mentors. I think this course is good for anyone who wants to learn UX design.

If you are nervous...just know that learning UX Design through this course is going to be easy for you, the language is simple to understand, and you won't be stressed out for sure. It'll be a good foundation for how much UX design knowledge you'll get at the end of the course! It is recommendable! So go ahead!

It is nicely structured. I really like the questions in the video and regular checks of knowledge. The content is well written and easy to follow. On the other hand, creating a portfolio and writing about myself from the view of UX design with such a little knowledge was very frustrating as I don't know enough.

It was a great experience. Although it is based on information available for anyone to access, the originality of the course lies in the sequence of concepts, activities and challenges, which help you to delve deeper into the topic, structure teamwork and master the use of the appropriate tools for each stage.

My first virtual class ever! I was worried that it would not be engaging and I would not retain much, but WOW, this course was jam-packed and presented in a variety of formats. The variety helped me stay focused and motivated over the several weeks it took me to complete it alongside my current, full-time job.

I kickstated this course not knowing anything about UX Design other than the meaning of 'UX'.

But, thanks to the google community who dedicated their time to developing this course, I was able to know and dig deep into the concepts and foundation of UX Design.

I am really grateful to the Google.

Thank you Google

It is the best course anyone could have ever enrolled in. It gives so much passion to students who are willing to learn UX foundations and its research system. You could learn much about research biases and sprints to help you enrich your empathy. Just take this course, You would eventually get what I mean :)

Great course! It clears all your basics of UX and covers a variety of topics! It has been well articulated and delivered, with glossaries and readings at the end of every video. It helps you take notes. I will definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in this field and wants to know more about it :)

As simple as you may think it is, this course outlines and itemise the key points you need to grasp. I have no Software or Designing background and this course gives me a good idea on the methodologies, terms and plenty of exercises to pick my brains. It has a revolving Q&A too if you try again which is nice.

Videos are short and you can go through this course in every single moment you find during your days. I appreciate a lot well designed mobile app as well because when you are having breakfast you can do few tasks and continue later again when you are again available. Thank you for this opportunity, Czechitas!

Fue un curso muy interesante para introducir la importancia del diseñador UX y los diferentes tipos de diseñadores que forman parte del proceso de creación de experiencia de usuario. Me pareció ágil, interesante pero con muchas ganas de poder comenzar con la práctica ahora que entendí la metodología y bases.

Very easy to comprehend and understand. It was a great read and great videos , al information seemed direct and straightforward without any extra fluff of words ot sentences. I felt like the foundations shared in this course truly are foundational, just enough information to digest without being overwhelmed.

Simply to say, it's the best way to start. Even a experience professional will learn something from this. Taught in a good pace and each and every aspect doing this is course is a plus. Can't define one or the two aspects. I recomment people who would like to learn experience design can do this once again.

The best course. Personally, I haven't experienced a UX program that emphasizes the importance of fundamental principles.  The majority of courses move straight to practice, however learning worthless if core principles aren't established. Overall, this program has assisted me in comprehending such concepts.

Perfect course! It is exactly (and even more than) what I expected of a learner-centred course! Every term and definition is well put, explained in detail, and always comes with interesting practical examples. The Reading section is probably my favorite, since it contains a lot of wider and deeper knowledge.

It was a really good introduction to the field of UX design and how to build up a online, professional presence. There is an overview on what UX design is, the types of roles within UX and how to conduct sprints before moving on to how to build a portfolio, a personal brand as well as social media accounts.

This first course was complete, clear, and well-organized. I enjoyed the additional readings and links. Also, the introduction to the UX Design field was rich and comprehensive of different points of view (i.e. what it means to network as a UX Designer, Accessibility issues, career prospects and much more).

A nice introductory course, covering major parts of the UX design - problem solving, principles, process, tools, personal portfolio building, personal branding and networking. Some parts were quite challenging for a non-design backgrounder, but overall I recommend it to all who's interested in the UX design
