Share Description
This course is intended for those who are involved in the creation of digital interactive products (not necessarily for mobile) but lack extensive experience in interaction design. This class is for you if you are a junior UX professional, a developer, manager, or a visual designer. This is not an introductory level course, so if you are new to the field, we recommend taking the Georgia Institute of Technology's "Introduction to User Experience Design" course before taking this one. Parts of this course, such as the aforementioned design creation process and approach to usability inspection, can also be useful for experienced designers.
After completing the course, you will be able to:
- Improve designs by eliminating various types of interaction issues
- Design large chunks of user interfaces when adding a new feature to a product
- Redesign an entire app based on a given set of functions (e.g., extending an existing product to a new platform)
