Prototyping is part art, part science. In this MOOC you will learn both UI design (user interface design) and the ergonomic criteria (grounded in cognitive psychology), which underlies it. With this knowledge, you will learn to drive the creative team from low-tech paper mock-ups to developing high-fidelity interactive prototypes using the latest industry methods and tools.
Prototypes serve the dual purpose of determining what the interfaces will look like and test these developing interfaces at every step! The point is to diminish the risk of developing wrong or faulty interfaces.
You will learn to appreciate the dynamic relationship shared by prototyping and testing, which good UI designers fully grasp. Prototyping takes the guessing game out of the creative process, delivering business savvy (on-time, on-budget) user-tested, good experiences.
No previous knowledge needed. Join us in the journey to unlock the potential of low to high fidelity prototyping techniques, through the UX Design and Evaluation MicroMasters, or as an individual course.
This course is part of the UX Design and Evaluation MicroMasters.

What you'll learn

  • Nielsen’s Ergonomic Heuristics,
  • Cognitive Biases to Avoid,
  • UI Design Principles,
  • Visual Design,
  • Low-Fidelity Paper Prototypes, Wireframing, Medium and High-Fidelity Prototyping,
  • UX Prototyping Tools (Invision, Balsamiq, Axure rp, or Adobe XD),
  • How UX Prototyping Synchs Up With User Testing.

Prerequisites
None.
But if you are engaged in the MicroMasters in UX Design and Evaluation , we very strongly recommend that do the Introduction to UX (UXe01x.1) and UX Research (UXe01x.1) before doing this one.

Management & Leadership Economics & Finance

We make thousands of decisions every day. Do I cross the road now, or wait for the oncoming truck to pass? Should I eat fries or a salad for lunch? How much should I tip the cab driver? We usually make these decisions with almost no thought, using what psychologists call “heuristics” – rules of thumb that enable us to navigate our lives. Without these mental shortcuts, we would be paralyzed by the multitude of daily choices.

Introduction to Behavioural Finance (edX)

Economics & Finance

Behavioural Finance is not just another branch of finance. It is the study of the influence of psychology on the behavior of human beings in their financial decision-making. It helps us in studying its subsequent effects on the financial markets. It highlights the fact that human beings are not always rational, have limits to their self-control, and are influenced by their own biases. It is the study of how investors systematically make errors in judgement, or “mental mistakes”. Behavioural finance is a relatively new field in economics and has become an interesting topic for investment professionals.
