Course details

More about this 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 a 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!

Learning Experience: This course talked about designing an interface based on user's needs. This comprises of the user interface design cycle having four phases. Coursera platform also provides you a room to discuss any topic with the other participants helping you to clarify most of your queries. UX design has enormous scope in many fields helping the creator to understand user's tasks and providing them with a platform to accomplish those tasks.
Faculty: Faculty's approach was very specific towards the course. The lectures were very comprehensive, informative and well explained. This course doesn't have live sessions. I was provided with many useful resource links. The course structure was good and assessments were fair. Since it was an introduction to UX design you don't get enough assignments to do.
Course Support: It just enhanced my skills and improved my CV
