UX: Interaction Design
Many UX jobs revolve around designing users’ interactions with a site or app. This Track will equip you for the interaction design aspect of user experience design.

User Experience Design, commonly called UX Design, encompasses all aspects of a user’s interaction with a company, its services, and its products. UX designers put themselves into the shoes of users to create solutions through empathy. Interaction design is key to good UX—and this Track will teach you how to do it.

We’ll start with a baseline course on Creating User Experiences, to get you up to speed. Next, we’ll cover how design patterns can solve user problems and help influence the behavior of users.

You’ll take our Introduction courses to Product Design and Design Systems, which will equip you to start working on real-world UX projects. Next, we’ll dive into Human Interface Guidelines, Material Design, and User Roles.

The next course in this Track will cover Accessibility principles for UX designers. This crucial topic not only ensures inclusion of all kinds of users, but extends your product to a wider audience.

Finally, you’ll take our Designing Interactions course, including the five dimensions, interaction models, cognitive psychology, and what’s next beyond interaction design.
