UX DESIGN COURSE
Client: RMIT Online, Future Skills Course
Project type: Course Design, Content Writing
The Challenge
Symplicit was engaged to provide industry expertise, insights and credibility as an innovative enterprise in Australia, to collaborate and create a 6-week foundational level UX course. The course was designed for customers as an important early step in the career, transition and upskill of RMITO students
Approach
-
Design sprint 1: Low-fidelity map of the 6 week online UX course — high level structure of modules and topics covered
-
Design sprint 2: Mid-fidelity map — detailed structure of the modules, topics covered, activities, learning outcomes & draft content
-
Design sprint 3: High-fidelity — finalised modules, topics, activities and final content
Key deliverables
A 6 week short course was created and launched in August 2019 as part of RMIT Online's future skills program — https://online.rmit.edu.au/course/sc-user-experience-design-dtr105
My role
I co-created the course design, and wrote course content on the following topic areas:
-
understanding the design brief
-
benchmarking methods
-
UX research including methods, planning and execution
-
persona creation
-
case studies & examples
-
assignments and milestones
I also was interviewed for videos relating to Synthesis, interviewing techniques, personas & transitioning into the UX field.
Impact on the business
The course has been successful in attracting students and providing them foundational skills for entry into the UX industry. Since then, I have continued to work with RMITO as an industry mentor for students undertaking the course.
