Course modules

Understand users and their goals

Start with people, needs and real tasks.

min

Organise information and user flows

Make it clear where information lives and how tasks work.

min

Create wireframes and interface patterns

Plan structure before spending time on visual polish.

min

Improve accessibility and test usability

Find friction and make the product usable by more people.

min

Build wireframes and interface patterns

Wireframes define structure before visual polish. Reusable controls and predictable feedback help people understand how an interface works.

min

Map user journeys and task flows

A user journey shows how someone reaches a goal. A task flow identifies screens, decisions and feedback needed to complete a particular task.

min

Plan user research

Research separates user needs from team assumptions. Ask neutral questions about goals, context, pain points and current workarounds.

min

Test a prototype and prioritise fixes

A usability test observes people completing realistic tasks. Issues should be prioritised by frequency, severity and impact.
