What problem should you be working on? Finding a big problem to solve can help you find opportunities to make a big impact through design. Starting at the beginning of the design process, you’ll discover strategies for creatively brainstorming problems to work on and challenges to address. You’ll learn commonly used techniques to discover user needs, goals, and values that lead to untapped opportunities for design. In this course, you’ll learn techniques for unearthing ideas based on real world settings and learn how to turn your observations into a concrete point of view as a designer.

You will never know whether you have an effective user experience until you have tested it with users. In this course, you’ll learn how to design experiments that compare design alternatives, techniques for running experiments, and how to analyze data from these experiments. You'll learn specific measures and concrete questions to ask users that will deliver meaningful results for your designs. This course will cover both fundamentals of experimental design as well as common web implementations, including A/B testing.

When developing designs, it is important to pick a point of view and consider multiple design options using prototypes. This course will teach you to rapidly instantiate your point of view using multiple prototyping tools, from paper prototypes to the Wizard of Oz method, to test and iterate your ideas quickly. The design strategies you learn in this course will be applicable in a variety of contexts, from services, to interfaces, to products.
