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....

The Foundation course of UX Design was really good. I always like way google instructors present particular topic. Overall my knowledge level improved from "What is UX Design?' to "Its all about user centered design attained via researching, wireframing & prototyping". Thanks Google for this awesome course.

Un curso que te da una gran noción del mundo del diseño ux a una escala laboral pero no solo resumida a un caso sino a muchos , como el caso de trabajar en una compañía grande, ser freelancer, en una startup. Realmente da herramientas que dan más seguridad a la hora de perseguir una carrera de diseñador ux

The Foundations of User Experience Design course was the best first step into the UX field. Overall, it was concise but covered the general concepts of the role of a UX designer, their place and versatility on a team and the details of how projects in this field of work are completed from beginning to end.

Great course to start with the basics of UX design, learned a lot about how to build an online presence and how to get in touch with people from the UX field and learned a lot about the role of a newbie UX designer. The instructor was just amazing, I've enjoyed every bit of course because of his narration.

O curso possui um ótimo conteúdo, é ótimo tanto para pessoas que já ingressaram na área do Design como para pessoas que ainda pretendem entrar na área. A única coisa que fez falta em algumas partes foi a legenda para a minha língua nativa, mas não foi algo que impediu o meu aprendizado durante o programa.

I have tried a lot of ways to learn topics, the Academic way, the school way, the offline and online courses, and even YouTube tutorials, but frankly, this is the best experience I have ever had, the combination of videos, articles, practices, and tasks is a great way to learn. Thank you for the effort <3

This course is awesome to build a good foundation in UX Design. I have a learnt from this course. Types of UX designers, frameworks, accessibility, design sprints, how to build a portfolio and the most important concept of Empathy towards users. Overall, the course is very good to start with UX designing.

Es muy bueno, aprendí varias cosas y en verdad siento que aunque lo que nos daban parecía un poco elemental, es claro dejar ciertos conceptos claros desde el principio. Además nos dan una idea clara de lo que se puede hacer en el futuro y cosas que en otros cursos enseñarían al final. Muy muy recomendado.

Exceptional course put together by Google and made available by Coursera! This is the kind of course I've been looking for - it's got everything I need to learn about UX Design in one course, and takes from start to finish, from the very basics and fundamentals and throughout the complete Design Process.

Oh! I just finished part 1 “Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design”. I can't really say that I like this course, but the things I learned were very helpful. The most interesting thing to learn is bias and ways to reduce bias in user research. For me the most difficult thing to learn is user behavior.

It has been awhile to not attending any courses, even though living our daily life with Search engine GOOGLE is the university and library of so much to learn, but attending to this course gave me another motivation to learn and add the value to me myself and be part of this beautiful human civilization.

The course provides sufficient information about UX and what types of UX designers are there. I very much liked the different frameworks that were introduced as well as introducing design sprints and how to use them. Finally, I am also glad to have learned about the UX job market and how to get into it.
