Introduction to User Experience Design

Georgia Tech introduces UX through a cycle of gathering requirements, exploring alternatives, prototyping and evaluating. The course frames design decisions as something to investigate with methods and evidence. It is an introductory route for learners who have heard the terminology but need a coherent process.

What you will learn

• Gather requirements for a user-centered design.
• Compare alternative interface concepts.
• Use prototypes and evaluation within a design cycle.

Who this suits

Novices exploring UX or UI design; the course introduces the discipline and its methods from the beginning.

Before you enroll

Allow time to conduct research and revise the design, beyond watching the lessons. Obtain consent for interviews and usability sessions, protect participant information and distinguish observed evidence from your assumptions. A course certificate does not establish professional experience.
