Course details

More about this course
  • The world is moving online faster than ever, and a range of socio-technical and global factors have accelerated the shift to digital first for a range of economic, social and even political functions.
  • User experience (UX) designers have never been so in demand, yet there remains a significant shortage of qualified UX designers in countries including the UK, US and Australia.
  • As web, mobile and other digital products become ever more important to a company's success, how can you make your mark in the field of UX design?
  • This self-paced UX design course will teach you everything you need to know to get your started as a digital designer.
  • This course will teach you the basics of UX design philosophy that all good digital designers follow. You'll find out how to minimize a user's, cognitive load (or effort exerted during a task) and decision-making time, and why users will stop looking at a website or digital product if it takes up too much of their time.
  • You'll explore key principles such as hierarchy and information architecture, and find out how to put the user at the front of every design decision you make.
  • What's the key difference between UX and UI design? As more and more UX designers are required to display UI (user interface) design expertise, it's vital to understand UX vs UI.
  • User interface design is essentially visual design (the look, feel and personality of a product) plus interaction design (how a user interacts with it) the micro elements. You'll learn how the 'micro' elements of UI exist within the big-picture 'macro' world of UX.
