Studying UX design means recognizing that tech is all about people. And as Frank Chimero stated, ‘People ignore design that ignores people.’
The success of any digital product depends on its usability and user experience. This course provides a hands-on, practical approach to creating accessible, inclusive and user-friendly digital artifacts. Students discover the significant impact of well-designed interfaces on performance and user satisfaction.
In addition, they learn how to identify user demands, build compelling interfaces, and balance various design options. They study UX best practices and usability testing through hands-on projects, seminars, and real-world case studies.
