In this course, you will learn the research and synthesis skills needed to turn raw data into actionable insights. You'll learn to interpret both qualitative and quantitative user research data, and then synthesize those findings into clear, compelling user personas and journey maps using Miro and Sketch. By identifying key pain points and opportunities along the user journey, you will develop the ability to formulate precise problem statements that will guide your design decisions.
In this module, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the course structure, learning objectives, and the central role of Miro and Sketch in the UX design process. You will explore the key stages of UX design, from initial research to low-fidelity prototyping, and learn how to set up and navigate your Miro and Sketch workspaces effectively. By the end of this module, you will have a solid foundation in the essential tools and processes of UX design, setting the stage for the rest of the course.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
