About the Course

In this course, you will learn how to design technologies that bring people joy, rather than frustration. You'll learn several techniques for rapidly prototyping (such as Wizard of Oz Prototyping) and evaluating multiple interface alternatives -- and why rapid prototyping and comparative evaluation are essential to excellent interaction design. You'll learn how to conduct fieldwork with people to help you get design ideas. How to make paper prototypes and low-fidelity mock-ups that are interactive -- and how to use these designs to get feedback from other stakeholders like your teammates, clients, and users. Armed with these design-thinking strategies, you’ll be able to do more creative human-centered design in any domain. This is the first course offered in the interaction design specialization series.

I just loved this lesson! Lots of things to explore. A lot of hands-on experience. I am very pleased with the amount of theory and study that I have.

I wish to thank UC San Diego & Scott Klemmer

This course opened my eyes to the foundational basis of design as a problem solving tool primarily. Can't wait to apply all I have learned and make world class designs that make the world better!

Some of the videos seemed disjointed or repetitive- perhaps a lesson summary before the video would help the student know what is coming/what to expect.

A really good course if you want to learn the basics. Assignments were rather easy and could have been a little more challenging. Overall a good course.

This is a great course I've learned a lot. I felt, that the assignments were not balanced right, the first one was way more challenging than the others.

Goo start, but some slides and examples look a bit old. Can still be good examples, but would prefer more new and relatable examples from websites etc.

Great course! the final exam is very odd though, the "correct" answers didn't fit easily in what was taught. several subjective questions

Good lessons, interesting content. But media is a bit old fashioned, I missed more interactive activities and more modern videos.

I think that more instructions on the assignment would be very appreciated. Otherwise, it is a very good introductory course.

Very valuable information, but some of the assignments could be written more coherently - especially since it's a ux course.

Gives you good end-to-almost-till-the-end experience on a project from needfinding to user research to storyboarding.
