Review
The course begins with an intriguing introduction into UX theory (delivered by Adam Triester), starting with a brief history. Section 3 (Understanding Users) is particularly interesting, dealing with user research processes, tools and methods. The various tools available for conducting user research are introduced, along with guidance around choosing the most appropriate ones for the varying stages of the research process. Adam then discusses some examples of real world user research projects that he has participated in.
Section 4 (Information Architecture) outlines the basics of information architecture, structure and two basic website models. I skimmed over the sections on the principles of visual and layout design, because I am already experienced in those areas. I suspect that other intermediate designers would probably feel the same way.
The last theoretical section is about user psychology, which I found particularly beneficial. Adam guides you through user motivations and emotions, outlining a few behaviour models that will help you during decision processes. During the theoretical part of the course there are plenty of visuals aids to assist with understanding the concepts that are being introduced.
