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....

Wonderful course. I was captivated. Beautifully designed, structured, and produced, with a great mixture of videos, reading assignments, quizzes, writing assignments with good prompts, links to external resources -- I was floored. I've been through too many online classes that were lackluster at best, but this course was marvelous.

It was useful. Even if I had been familiar with the qualitative, quantitative, primary, and secondary research, I still found it useful. I had known that at some point in my career as a UX Designer I would have to deal with research to become an experienced and professional UX Designer, and now I realize how. Thanks a lot for that.

Before starting the course I did not have any idea about the UX design field.Now I think that I have a much more wide vision about the profession. I was satisfied with the lectures, the assignments, and the additional readings. Finally, I really enjoyed the insights that I got from the experiences of people working as UX designers.

I loved this training format! Especially how the coursework was provided as a mix of videos with relatable examples and practical readings. The tests and optional participation were also implemented nicely. None of this was overwhelming. Going at my own pace was awesome because traditional classroom settings are distracting for me.

I enjoyed this course, I didn't find it too difficult, which at first I thought it would be but I think that was just nerves. It took me just over 2 weeks to complete and even then I feel like I was doing it at a good pace, was still able to understand and soak up a lot of information. I'm really excited to start the next chapter!

The course is overall good. Well explained, very detailed with a lot of additional information not just to support the course but also to give learners more knowledge.

The only negative thing I have to say is that the majority of the formers looks like is reading, and at some points was really hard for me to stop focusing on that.

This is by far the best introduction I’ve had to UX design ( I also completed the User Experience Design course on Udacity). I feel empowered to steer my career with the high level overview of the various roles and responsibilities UX Designer have, who we can work with and in What capacity (agency, start-ups, larger companies).

The "Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design" course is a great starting point. It covers the basics well, including user-centered design and research methods. It's practical and easy to understand for beginners. However, it could use more depth and interactive elements. Overall, it’s a solid foundation for those new to UX.

I am so impressed with the way the course laid out. I wasn't prepared for the online presence and portfolio part. But that was brilliant because you get you to build your online presence and portfolio through these courses. Moreover, you get insight from real designers who work for Google which is very informative and helpful.

After taking this course, I became more confident about the ability to join this industry. Thanks to all the people who devoted themselves to this program.
