User Experience (UX) Basics Workshop (online)

Explore user experience in the digital and physical design worlds.

Course description

Learn about the importance of preliminary research, testing during the process of developing a design, and how to test and analyze existing designs. Explore user experience (UX) roles and the artifacts they contribute during the user-centric digital design phase(s) such as wireframing, paper and clickable prototyping, card sorting and other testing methodologies.

Discover how UX can be utilized in a variety of settings and have a better understanding of how UX is used in product development. This course is for those exploring new career opportunities, those interested in learning what user experience is all about, and/or those that are wondering whether MCAD’s User Experience (UX) Design Certificate is right for them.

Please note that this is not a lab-based class. This class is not a prerequisite to MCAD’s User Experience (UX) Design Certificate.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
