• Study people and collect data about their activities: You'll learn how to collect and interpret qualitative and quantitative data about user behavior and preferences.
• Synthesize data into conceptual models that help you derive requirements: We'll teach you how to translate your findings into actionable design goals and requirements.
• Conceptualize, design, and prototype graphical user interfaces based on requirements: You'll get hands-on experience creating user interfaces that meet these requirements.
• Evaluate your prototypes (low-fidelity and high-fidelity) in studies: Finally, you'll learn how to conduct user testing sessions and iterate on your designs based on user feedback.

By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundation in HCI principles and methodologies. You'll be equipped with the skills necessary to design and develop usable interfaces that create a positive user experience.
