In this Human-Centered Design - an Introduction course offered by Coursera in partnership with UC San Diego, you will learn how to design technologies that bring people joy, rather than frustration.

- How to make paper prototypes and low-fidelity mock-ups that are interactive -- and how to use these designs to get feedback from other stakeholders like your teammates, clients, and users.
