About the Course

This hands-on course examines how content is organized and structured to create an experience for a user, and what role the designer plays in creating and shaping user experience. You will be led through a condensed process that acts as a roadmap for developing robust UI/UX design: from ideation and sitemapping, to the creation of paper and digital prototypes. Building on the design skills learned in Visual Elements of User Interface Design, you will apply this methodology to produce a digital prototype for a multi-screen app of your own invention. By the end of this course, you will be able to describe and apply current best practices and conventions in UX design, and employ the fundamental principles of how UX design functions to shape an audience's experience of a given body of content. This is the second course in the UI/UX Design Specialization, which brings a design-centric approach to user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design, and offers practical, skill-based instruction centered around a visual communications perspective, rather than on one focused on marketing or programming alone. These courses are ideal for anyone with some experience in graphic or visual design and who would like to build their skill set in UI or UX for app and web design. It would also be ideal for anyone with experience in front- or back-end web development or human-computer interaction and want to sharpen their visual design and analysis skills for UI or UX....

Very good course!

It was difficult if you have never used the software before...steep learning curve.

Worth the effort, but I think a lot was assumed in terms of student's experience level.

Very eye-opening. It is rare to find a UX course that is from design-led perspective, and really get down into details of working rather than taking at high level.

Loved it, I learned so much! Professor was clear but I do wish they went over how to actually use the program to make the prototype but otherwise, LOVED IT!

Adequately detailed and exercises force you to work even though they are fairly easy and straight forward for some, they still give a meaninful experience.

If you are into the design field, sometimes it might feel a little bit boring. But if you are a newcomer I think it is a really good start to UX field.

Thank you! I learned a lot in the course.

My one suggestion would be to provide a tutorial on the suggested software. I am brand new to this!
