UX Design: An Introduction

IIT Guwahati introduces UX and human-computer interaction through examples and a view of the design process. The course examines what makes an experience useful and usable, alongside the work different UX roles perform. It suits learners comparing design as a discipline with neighboring technical or business roles.

What you will learn

• Explain foundational UX and HCI concepts.
• Evaluate examples of stronger and weaker experiences.
• Describe stages and roles in user-centered design.

Who this suits

Beginners from arts, commerce, science or other backgrounds; the provider welcomes learners without a design specialization.

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.

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

Analyze a fictional service journey and identify one usability issue, the people affected and a question research would need to answer.
