Course Description

In this course, you'll explore the essence of great design and usability. You'll learn to see the world differently, spotting usability defects nearly everywhere you look. In learning about the defects, you'll also learn how to repair these broken interfaces usually with only a few minor changes. This course will open your eyes, upgrade your skills, and maybe even change your life.




Also included: Mark Miller's Science of Great UI Case Studies, a 26-page e-book highlighting good and bad design examples (and how to fix them) from well-known companies and products.
