About the Course

The focus of this course is to introduce the learner to User Experience (UX) Design User Experience design is design that is user centered. The goal is to design artifacts that allow the users to meet their needs in the most effective efficient and satisfying manner. The course introduces the novice to a cycle of discovery and evaluation and a set of techniques that meet the user's needs. This course is geared toward the novice. It is for learners that have heard about "user experience" or "user interface" design but don't really know much about these disciplines. The course mantra is that “Design is a systematic and data driven process.” Design is systematic because it is based on a set of techniques and also on a cycle of discovery. In this course the learner is introduced to the four step user interface design cycle. Along the way learners are exposed to a set of techniques to gather information about a) what the user needs b)how to design and model interfaces based on these and then how to evaluate the design to ascertain that the user's goals are met. These techniques are tools that are used in a standardized manner and give us the data we use in our design. This means that anyone (regardless of their current training) that is willing to learn these techniques and follow the proposed cycle can be a UX designer!...

In the steps of User Experience Design, I got how to go through all four stages; Requirements gathering, Alternative designs, Prototyping, and Evaluation to design and get a good product on the table.

Its a good theory course but would be fun if more practical examples are given with some creative use of infographics or any other media.

Lean too heavily towards theory instead of practice. I do think peer-graded assignments work better than quiz in term of UX lessons...

Useful to get a sense of what UXD is, but not much else. It is VERY basic and also very short - you can easily complete it in a day.

The videos did not seem very interactive. The teacher just read the slides. Good as an introduction, but not very hand-on course.

Неудобно оформлены вопросы в середине лекций, на других курсах не было таких огромных проблеов между вопросом и каждым ответом.

The content is informative but the presentation is boaring. I would suggest adding more visuals and examples for the videos.

The class is super thorough in terms of the basics, however, the interactions could be improved from Week 3 onwards. :)

Overall, it was an informative course. However, I found it to be very theoretical and sometimes too detailed-oriented.

As a product designer the concepts were not very new. But it was interesting to see how they apply to digital designs.

the course is pretty basic and repetitive, i'd appreciate if students have chances to actually work on a ux project

It's useful, but in comparison with the online Call Arts Courses in Corcera is bad.

Je m'attendais plus à une formation orientée sur le design des UI
