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.

The course allows the student to get the fundamentals of UX in a quick-to-understand and interactive format. The course is valuable to get Design concepts and apply them in Design software.

I loved the clarity with which the course was taught. It has helped me to further dive into and understand UI/UX. I recommend these courses to anyone curious about the UI/UX field, and to any designer that is looking to improve his or her skills.

Excellent to start and get an approach of User Experience (UX) fundamentals. You will learn to use any tool that helps you to make prototypes of design. Useful to begin your own designs, you can include the experience in your Curriculum Vitae.

I couldn't believe how easy and fun it is to learn or at least get familiar with UX design and/or research. I know I am only touching the tip of the iceberg, but this course makes it feel fun and easy. The best thing I did in 2021!

Absolutely LOVED the final project - it really put my skills to the test and seeing how far I've come from the first course in this specialization to now is amazing. I can't wait to see how far I'll come with the last 2 courses!

This was an excellent course to learn how to design and create prototypes, but also and which I think is the most important, how to interact with information through decision making.

although I found this class is very useful but I think it would be better if the professor has the chance to review students work, not just reviews from other students.....
