Learn Interaction Design

Design effective user interactions and flows with thoughtful information architecture.
Interaction Design (IxD) and Information Architecture (IA) are essential concepts for professional UX Designers. In this example-driven course, we will first introduce Interaction Design and Information Architecture as practices, then go deep into specific site patterns, interactions, and flows. Next, you'll put those skills into practice by critiquing and redesigning an ineffective design. Additionally, you will begin to think about products from a site-wide perspective using information architecture, make informed decisions about the navigation, and create wireframes for a whole site that demonstrates your knowledge of design patterns taught in the lesson.
