Understanding Usability Testing
Usability testing is a critical component of the design process, allowing you to understand how real users interact with your product. This involves observing users as they perform tasks and collecting feedback to identify areas for improvement. The course begins by introducing the fundamentals of usability testing, including how to set up tests, recruit participants, and analyze results. You will learn about different types of usability testing methods, such as moderated and unmoderated tests, and how to use these methods effectively to gather valuable insights.
Exploring Accessibility Standards
Accessibility is about ensuring that your digital products are usable by people with a wide range of abilities. The course delves into various accessibility standards, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). You will learn how to apply these standards to your designs, ensuring that your products are accessible to users with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments. Understanding these standards will not only help you create more inclusive designs but also comply with legal requirements and best practices.

Additionally, you will explore techniques for designing for different user groups, such as designing for color blindness, motor impairments, and cognitive disabilities.
