Course Overview

After proposing a solution, the first thing you need to do to put it into action is to create a prototype. Prototyping and user testing are critical elements of the design-thinking process, and you can learn about them in the Design Thinking: Prototyping and User Testing certification course. It houses video lectures and English transcripts to allow for self-paced learning. 

Prototyping is an iterative process, and you will appreciate it better by examining the case studies that are a part of the curriculum. In the Design Thinking: Prototyping and User Testing programme, you will learn how to implement user testing and evaluate the results obtained from it. You can complete the programme comfortably in six weeks if you study eight to twelve hours a week.

Design Thinking: Prototyping and User Testing training is an intermediate-level programme. Surveys, focus groups, interviews, and other methods, tools, and best practices for assessing solutions are part of this online course. Moreover, this course is part of the Design Thinking MicroMasters programme offered by the Rochester Institute of Technology. EdX offers two different enrolment options to join the programme; paid and free mode. In the paid mode, the learners will get unlimited access and a certificate whereas in the free mode, they can get only limited access to the programme.
