About the Course

Build Wireframes and Low-Fidelity Prototypes is the third course in a certificate program that will equip you with the skills you need to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience (UX) design. In this course, you’ll continue to design a mobile app for your professional UX portfolio. You’ll start by creating storyboards and getting familiar with the basics of drawing. Then, you'll create paper wireframes and digital wireframes using the design tool Figma. You’ll also create a paper prototype and a digital low-fidelity prototype in Figma. Current UX designers and researchers at Google will serve as your instructors, and you will complete hands-on activities that simulate real-world UX design scenarios. Learners who complete the seven courses in this certificate program should be equipped to apply for entry-level jobs as UX designers. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Develop a goal statement. - Create two types of storyboards: big picture and close-up. - Understand the difference between low-fidelity and high-fidelity design. - Apply the basics of drawing. - Apply the principles of information architecture to organize a mobile app. - Create paper wireframes for a mobile app design. - Develop digital wireframes in the design tool Figma. - Build a paper prototype to add interactivity to designs. - Design a low-fidelity prototype in Figma. - Recognize implicit bias and deceptive patterns in design. - Continue to design a mobile app to include in your professional portfolio. To be successful in this course, you should complete the previous two courses in this certificate program, or have an ability to conduct user research to inform the creation of empathy maps, personas, user stories, user journey maps, problem statements, and value propositions. You will also need paper and a pen or pencil....

This course was by far my favorite as it challenged my knowledge from the previous two courses and it really got fun with the digital wire framing and prototyping. I am excited as ever to learn more!

This course really teaches you how to make your design come to life. This is a great way to test out the design and the usability. When you can interact with a flow(Instead of it sitting flat on a screen), you really start to notice all the jarring interactions. Research participants feel very comfortable when it's tangible too.

I particularly enjoyed this part of professional certification. Especially the part about dark patterns. I feel like Google not only educates me but also makes me a better person...ethically. There's a deeper than just mastering professional skills context.

I'm surprised that the Curser service itself has a disgusting design. Maybe they should hire professionals? On the screen, it is obvious that there are different fonts and their formats. The layout and positioning of objects on the screen hurts the eyes, the titles of the video with poor outline and they are not visible on a light screen. I post a lot of comments via the badge, but no one reads them. The technical support did not resolve my issue and then closed the ticket on their own. And why does an inexperienced student evaluate my work? How about a teacher? In my opinion, the courses were invented in order to simply make money. All information sucked out of the finger. I advise you to go to a normal college or university.

Pésimo. Me da la sensación de que todo el contenido está desordenado, las explicaciones de los vídeos son muy confusas y muchas veces no entiendo qué pinta un tema dentro de otro; encima, la transcripción está agrupada (sin división de párrafos) lo que dificulta tomar notas. Por no hablar de la traducción en español, he tenido que pasar los exámenes al inglés porque ni las preguntas ni las respuestas tenían sentido. Si el resto del certificado es así, voy a tener que buscar otros cursos para aprender lo que aquí no se entiende.

I do not like the organization or presentation style of this course. It tries to cater to all learning styles and it does not work for me! I also hate the broken links! Specifically, whenever it would have a link that opens in a new tab that goes to another part of the course, that link takes me back to the main page and it's on the CURRENT activity, NOT the one I'm trying to reach. YOUR LINKS ARE BROKEN, GOOGLE.

There is alot of missing direction as to how to submit assignments and what is expected. More and clear information is needed. I realize there is a proctor to email questions but the wait time for answer is a few days to over a week. At this point I will wait for an answer on how we submit assignments and then may find another course. No way i'm going to waste anymore time here.

Learn Figma from YouTube or Udemy. Then pay for this course if you want the certificate. The course doesn't really teach you anything extra.

I recently completed the "Build Wireframes and Low-Fidelity Prototypes" course, and it has been an incredibly valuable experience. The course offered a thorough introduction to wireframing and prototyping, providing me with practical skills that are crucial for UX design. The modules were well-structured, starting with the basics of wireframes and gradually moving into the creation of low-fidelity prototypes. I particularly appreciated the hands-on workshops and tool tutorials, which helped me apply what I learned to real-world scenarios. The use of Figma, Sketch, and Adobe XD was well-integrated, allowing me to become proficient with these essential design tools. The course also emphasized ethical design practices, which was a highlight for me. Learning how to avoid deceptive patterns and create inclusive designs made me more conscious of the impact of my work on users. The feedback sessions with peers and instructors were insightful and instrumental in refining my prototypes. Overall, this course provided me with a solid foundation in wireframing and prototyping. The practical exercises and ethical considerations made it a comprehensive and enriching learning experience. I feel more confident in my ability to create effective, user-centered designs and am excited to apply these skills in future projects.

The "Build Wireframes and Low-Fidelity Prototypes" course, part of the Google UX Design Professional Certificate on Coursera, is an essential resource for learning the foundational skills of UX design. It covers the creation of wireframes and low-fidelity prototypes, emphasizing the importance of these early-stage design tools in the iterative design process. Taught by Google UX experts, the course includes video lessons, hands-on activities, and real-world examples. This combination helps learners understand the principles of wireframing and prototyping and apply them effectively in their projects. The course ensures students can quickly translate ideas into tangible designs, facilitating early feedback and iteration. Strengths of the course include its clear, step-by-step instruction and practical focus, making it ideal for beginners. The real-world applicability of the projects enhances the learning experience. However, incorporating more advanced techniques and tools could provide additional depth. Overall, this course is a valuable starting point for anyone looking to build a strong foundation in UX design.

Dear Coursera Team, I am currently enrolled in the certification course with Google in UX design. In course 3, module 2, I believe that the exercise should be replaced with a different assignment. The assignment is to share an example of solid information architecture (IA). The IA should be designed for a web or app portfolio, and the student should be able to review the actions after the flowchart. This is an essential aspect of the site. In order for the architecture to be effective, it is necessary to create the schematics and pass them to digital. This would be an interesting exercise from the perspective of the information collected and an opportunity to understand how the navigation would be implemented in an ideal scenario. In the evaluation of this same module, I have identified an error in the Google translation that has the potential to cause confusion in the answer in Spanish. 4. Haga un esquema de página para tener un producto real como referencia. debería ser: Haga un esquema de página de un sitio existente para tener un producto real como referente. Thks!

In this course I have been excited about building story boards and I found it very interesting how they help in creating wire frames, I got to understand about information architecture. Another exiting activity was creating digital wireframe from paper wire frames using the exciting tool called figma. One interesting activity kept following one another after building digital wire frames up next was constructing low fidelity paper prototypes which led to going back to figma to create digital prototypes. Working with figma has been very engaging and exciting when building my prototype I faced a slight challenge with linking some pages I don’t know if figma was taking its time to save the work other than that I enjoyed this course and the instructor was awesome.

Overall, it has been a most outstanding experience. The itinerary of course instructors is more than exceptional. Not only are each and all of them very competent in the subject matter at hand as being facilitated.

Yet, and perhaps more importantly, they had a savviness and charismatic approach, demonstration in each one's own unique right-of-way to communicate every learning -- growth and developmental step with expertise and a razor-sharp finesse wihch is mandatory of complete learning to take place.

Thank you all for the exceptional learning experience. I am grateful! Bravo in a concise word. What a gifted and versed UX Desgn Team. Like-minded folks do indeed and in fact coalesce around important activities.

Sincerely,

SJC, Ph.D.

I really like these Google UX courses. The lectures are great. Good pace, good explanation. Slides are amazing. Well made.

The downside to these coursera google courses is that there is no lecturer or anyone at all you can contact to ask questions. The feedback from your 'peers' is quite bad most of the time.

So.. yes, quality vs cost etc is great. But know that there is no interaction at all. For example: I am stuck with a 'wrong' prompt for an app I have to build. But I have to stick to it because no one answers my questions or feedback.
