"...Great course, found it valuable. Will recommend
to others..."
- Sara |
Poorly designed websites, product interfaces, and information products
cost companies millions of dollars each year in terms of lost productivity
and dissatisfied customers.
Usability Testing is a 6-week online course that is designed
to teach you how to plan, prepare, and conduct a usability test
as well as report on the findings of the test. You'll learn how
to plan a usability test, create test objectives, profile the user,
select the right test, select the environment, and prepare the test
materials. You'll discover how to conduct a one-on-one interview.
You'll also find out how to analyze and report on the results of
your usability test using common analysis techniques and reporting
formats. By the end of this course, you will have developed a test
plan for a usability test, conducted a usability test, conducted
an expert (heuristic) evaluation, and written a report using the
industry-standard report format.

I believe that I developed an understanding of the process of usability.
This is what I was interested in achieving. This is the third course
I have taken from Online-learning.com and I feel that I am achieving
a good understanding of information design. -- David
The assignments were well designed and very good learning tools.
It is a good introduction to usability topics and has the right
blend of theoretical and practical knowledge. -- Valerie
I thought the material was suited to people who are beginning
to learn about usability and conducting tests. It was online and I could fit the assignments and
coursework in when it was convenient for me. -- Lauren
