Course Overview
Want to design better user experiences that make a difference in the world and improve people's lives?
This UX course is for beginners who want to learn the fundamentals of UX design and experienced UX designers who want to hone their craft and learn the techniques used by Australia's most established UX design agency.
*New to Udemy. Brought to you by Tania Lang and PeakXD, the team behind the highest-rated online UX course according to UX Mastery.*
Through real-life case studies and lessons learned from working in the UX industry, this course will give you the tools you need to be able to:
Get in the UX mindset: Understand UX as a foundational philosophy, balancing user needs with business requirements and focusing on problem definition before solution design.
Plan and conduct research: Design and execute comprehensive research studies, including planning, selecting appropriate qualitative and quantitative methods, conducting effective user interviews, and using AI to help analyze research data.
Analyze and empathize: Utilize tools and methods to synthesise research data into artefacts (like personas) that build empathy and clearly communicate findings to stakeholders.
Apply design fundamentals: Focus on "Getting the right design" first by using sketching, wireframing, and running collaborative design workshops with confidence.
Structure information: Understand and apply principles of Information Architecture (IA) and user mental models to ensure content is easily found and tested.
Apply core design principles: Learn critical UX and interaction design principles to create highly usable and effective interfaces.
Leverage visual design: Grasp the role of visual design in establishing trust, and use its principles to create emotional connections and address usability issues.
Evaluate and improve: Competently evaluate existing systems using various UX evaluation methods and provide actionable recommendations for design improvements.
Conduct usability testing: Plan, recruit for, confidently run, analyze, and communicate the findings of usability test sessions.
Integrate and scale UX: Learn to integrate UX into organisational contexts (including Agile/Lean) and understand the continuous improvement process required post-launch.
Strategically use AI: Understand how to use AI tools and platforms to conduct some of your research, accelerate research analysis, and help identify usability issues.
Each activity builds on the others, and at the end of the 10 activities, you will have an end-to-end design project that you can add to your portfolio and help you find your next UX/CX position.
"I'm grateful that I get to learn UX from industry experts. I like the study materials, video lessons and their content. I previously took a UX/UI course with another school but I didn't know the other research methods and tools until I learned it from PeakXD." Ellaine S.
Taught by Tania Lang, an Australian UX Consultant, Trainer, Coach and Mentor with more than 20 years of experience in user experience.
