All language subtitles for 01 - Introduction to Course 4 Conduct UX Research and Test Early Concepts.en

Hey there. Let's review

where we're at in the
UX design process.

You've learned how to
empathize with users,

define user needs and
problem statements,

and come up with ideas
for design solutions.

You've also created
a wireframe and

made your way into
the prototype phase.

Now you're going to learn how to

conduct research to
test your prototype.

Once you have your
research findings,

you'll use the insights
to iterate on and

improve your low-fidelity
designs.

By the end of this course,

you'll know how to
plan a research study,

conduct research with
a usability study,

analyze and synthesize
research results,

share and promote
research insights,

and modify designs based on

research insights. But
before we get started,

let me tell you a
bit about myself.

My name is Jason, and I'm

a UX researcher and
UX manager at Google.

During my career here,

I've worked on products
like Google Chrome.

I'm currently leading a team
called Equity Engineering.

Our team practices equity-focused

design, and we work to make
sure that Google's products,

systems, and processes
are fair and

equitable for both
Googlers and our users.

I advocate for folks that
are underrepresented

and for groups that have been

historically excluded
from design.

Focusing on equity in
your design can be

a powerful tool to help you

effectively meet the
needs of your users.

Early in my career, I held

many different jobs that
were not in UX design.

My journey into UX
design has not been

the most straightforward,
but it has been fulfilling.

Your career journey will
be a unique one as well.

I'm excited to guide you
through your next course in

UX design, which is all about

conducting research and
testing prototypes.

To get started, we'll go through

the four steps in a
UX research study.

Then we'll deep dive
into the first step:

planning a study, which has

seven elements. Ready to
get started? Let's do it!
