Certificate in User Experience (UX) Design

Fundamentals of UX Design introduces the essential methods and tools of user experience design, distinguishing UX from UI and covering core concepts like usability, accessibility, and human-centered design. The course emphasizes applying these principles in real-world contexts, integrating emerging tools like AI in the UX process. You will engage in hands-on research techniques such as interviews and empathy mapping, and develop skills in managing stakeholder relationships, communication, and presentation. By course end, you'll have a solid framework to showcase your ability to apply UX principles and communicate design processes effectively.

Upon successful completion of the course, you will have learned to:

1. Articulate the roles and specialties; describe the phases of the UX design process, from research to ideation, prototyping, and testing.
2. Develop a foundational understanding of core UX principles, including usability, accessibility, user-centered design, and design thinking, learn to apply them to create intuitive, user-friendly experiences.
3. Develop the skills to critically evaluate the usability of digital and physical experiences by identifying barriers, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement.
4. Utilize foundational research methods to identify problems, gather insights, understand user needs and client goals, to inform and guide design decisions.
5. Understand the value of user experience by demonstrating its impact on business goals, customer satisfaction, and product success.
6. Apply UX knowledge in collaborative settings with real-world clients, stakeholders, and team, integrating feedback to refine solutions that meet both user needs and business goals.
7. Demonstrate knowledge of current UX design trends, tools, and technologies, and adapt skills to align with evolving industry needs.

Visual Design, Wireframing & Prototyping teaches you how to create effective user interfaces by defining content hierarchy, navigation structures, and layouts through information architecture and user flow diagrams. You will develop low-fidelity wireframes and advance to detailed visual designs incorporating UI elements, color, and typography. In addition, it covers the creation of high-fidelity mock-ups and interactive prototypes, enabling you to simulate user interactions. It emphasizes gathering and integrating feedback through iterative design and critique sessions. Additionally, you’ll collaborate with client teams to prepare comprehensive design packages and offer guidance on implementation.

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

1. Master the process of creating User Flow Diagrams to identify key touchpoints, guiding design focus and providing a visual framework that will influence layout and navigation decisions.
2. Define content hierarchy, navigation structures, and layout frameworks, creating cohesive designs.
3. Create detailed visual designs with UI elements, color schemes, and typography, developing interactive prototypes to simulate user experiences.
4. Collect, interpret, and incorporate feedback to refine design solutions, demonstrating an iterative approach to problem-solving.
5. Prepare comprehensive design packages and clear implementation instructions for developers, collaborating to resolve design-related issues during the development phase.
