About this course
Bad design frustrates users, while great design feels invisible and intuitive. This course teaches you how to design technology around human needs, behaviors, and emotions. You will learn how to transition from initial user research to conceptualizing, prototyping, and evaluating user interfaces that are both functional and delightful.
What you'll learn:
- Understand core human-computer interaction theories and user-centered design principles.
- Conduct foundational user fieldwork and interviews to uncover real user needs and pain points.
- Create low-fidelity paper prototypes and apply rapid prototyping methods like Wizard of Oz testing.
- Evaluate interface alternatives using heuristic evaluation and comparative testing methodologies.
- Apply modern accessibility standards and responsive design guidelines to ensure inclusive digital experiences.
- Structure design layouts using modern design system concepts and component-based workflows.
The course begins with fundamental theories of human cognition and interaction design before guiding you through hands-on exercises in user research, prototyping, and structured evaluation. Through written explanations and practical scenarios, you will develop a systematic approach to solving complex design problems.
This course is designed for beginners who want to enter the fields of UX/UI design, product management, or software development, with no prior design experience required.
Start building a solid foundation in human-centered design and learn how to create technology that people love to use.
