Appealing to a wide audience that includes designers, engineers, information architects, writers, sociologists, and entrepreneurs, this certificate provides a thorough education on how to develop compelling user experiences (UX). Students learn the latest strategies, techniques, and underlying technologies used by leading agencies to develop and deploy world-class user experiences. Areas covered include user research, developing user personas and scenarios, information architecture, responsive design, mobile first, system and user interface design, prototype creation, and usability testing, analytics and analysis. An emphasis will be on learning through making, and evaluation will be based on the application of research with aesthetics being a component but not an end artifact in isolation. (So, portfolios will display process, prototypes, application scenarios and result observations.)
