UI and UX design is a thriving industry with numerous prospects for anyone with the right skills. This course is designed for those who are interested in starting a career in designing UI and UX experiences as well as developers who want to create web and front-end applications. It emphasizes the key concepts, tools, and methodologies used in front-end development.
Web and mobile-accessible devices are transforming the world. Nowadays, everyone has a smartphone, tablet, smart TV, and/or laptop, which they use for communication and data searching. Companies are increasingly turning to front-end developers, mobile app developers, and UI/UX designers to assist them in producing user-friendly products. Therefore, it is crucial to provide users with a robust yet intuitive user interface and experience. In this course, you will learn about the best practices of visual design development and identify the differences between well-designed and poor user interfaces. You will explore typography, readability, and colour theory in UI design. You will gain insight into key methodologies in visual design like Responsive Web Design (RWD) and Progressive Web Design (PWD). You will gain exposure to tools like Figma, a collaborative cloud-based app used for interface design. You will discover the steps to set up a Figma account and learn about its configuration. In addition, you will explore the various components, styles, libraries, and layout grids used in Figma that are essential for design. Throughout this course, you will learn through videos, readings, activities, and quizzes designed to teach you the fundamentals of visual web and mobile design and development. You will gain a range of technical and practical knowledge and get insights and guidance from experts in the field. The practical knowledge you will gain from the hands-on labs will further strengthen your base and enable you to perform better. This is a beginner’s course, intended for learners with basic computer operating skills who have a fundamental knowledge of visual design development and are familiar with Figma. To be successful in this course, you should have a basic understanding of User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) design as well as website wireframes, familiarity with the different kinds of layouts and tools used for visual design in various devices, and familiarity with the Figma application.

Please enhance the course by incorporating expert opinions and focusing more on visual learning. Currently, the content relies heavily on memorization.

less practical content , lots of theoretical content

The course gives the clean idea of an integrated design management in #softwaredevelopment for the #softwareengineers though IBM should select a better alternative to Thunkable.

Hard to learn, But its worth to complete, very informative, if you study slowly, carefully with complete focus this course will make your master of the UX field.

The course is very basic and assumes you have knowledge of Figma. One of the tutorials, has instructions such as design the Home page, select the colors and text you want, no instructions on how you would this in Figma as a beginner. Pretty disappointing.
I am really sad to tell that the course material misses the basic of being useful, clear for a learner who starts to get the basic knowledge, the tone speaking is super fast and the material misses the visual examples that describe the case that is being taught, From the theoretical perspective the material is probably sufficient, but for the beginner it has the ambiguity effects.
Just horrible. You'd be much better off if you studied from YouTube, or even took courses from Udemy or IxDF, so don't be lured by the IBM tag. I could sense that the Week 2 content was important and relevant, but the presentation and delivery of all the weeks' content was so awfully boring and dull, which is ironic considering that it's a design course. Just a background voice blabbers stuff while static information in bullet points is presented in the most uninteresting, unengaging manner. IxDF and Career Foundry provide primer courses with the same content in a much better way, that too for free. The content for week 3, which was all about Figma, was totally unnecessary because as someone who knows Figma, there couldn't have been a worse way to teach the tool the way this course did. No demos, no examples, nothing, and this was the case for all 3 weeks. Subpar content and presentation quality. In the end I played all the videos in 2x speed just to get done with it.
Feels like being stuck in a bad corporate powerpoint presentation in 2000. Didn't learn much from this.

I would like to have a better explanation about how the different subjects interrelate, some questions on the quiz are irrelevant .

Coursera, is the best way to learn online. It is efficient. Many of the courses can be downloaded also and that helps a lot when travelling. The instructors speak clearly too and they make a lot of sense.
