What you'll learn

Course Description: This course introduces the foundational principles and practices of User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) design with an emphasis on user-centered, ethical, and accessible digital product design. Learners will explore UX research techniques, develop wireframes, apply visual design fundamentals, and create interactive prototypes using industry-standard design tools. With a strong emphasis on practical skill-building, this course prepares students to design intuitive, engaging, and inclusive user interfaces for web and mobile applications. Learning Outcomes: After completing the course, Participants will be able to: 1. Identify key concepts, terminology, and components of UI/UX design. 2. Explain the stages of user-centered design and the importance of user empathy. 3. Apply UX research methods to generate user personas and journey maps. 4. Analyze the structure of user flows and information architecture in digital interfaces. 5. Evaluate the usability and effectiveness of design decisions based on user feedback. 6. Create wireframes, UI components, and prototypes using design tools.
