User Interface / User Experience Design (Classroom & Asynchronous e-learning)

About This Course

UX (User Experience) focuses on the principles and techniques in the design of good user experience, which is the key success factor of software applications today. It generally involves four vital stages: understanding user requirements, analysis, designing and validation. These are important phases of the UX design life cycle with emphasis on building empathy with users.

Designing for applications is more than just focusing on usability of the functions in a software application. Instead, it emphasizes on how well a particular application is able to relate, interact and create a pleasant and meaningful experience. Benefits from a good UX include higher engagement with users, increased sustainability in the use of applications and higher productivity. On the contrary, a bad UX inevitably leads to several issues including negative repercussions to an organisation’s reputation.

This course holistically covers the different key principles of UX. The goal is to have participants learn UX by using the right techniques and designing/redesigning a product through a testing-focused approach.
