Course overview

This Coursera course emphasizes the decisions that come before a polished interface. Requirements and research lead into personas, journeys and wireframes, followed by basic prototypes and critique. It is a useful choice when a learner can operate a design tool but needs a clearer reason for each screen.

What you will learn

  • Connect research findings with interface requirements.
  • Map personas, journeys and user flows.
  • Create and critique low-fidelity Figma prototypes.

Who this suits

Learners with a basic understanding of UX design, following the stated prerequisite.

Before you enroll

Check which Figma plan and interface version the lessons use. Some AI, library and collaboration features have separate access conditions. A prototype demonstrates an interaction; review accessibility and actual implementation requirements before treating it as a finished product.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Map a fictional booking journey, identify one uncertain assumption and make a low-fidelity prototype that could help investigate it.
