In this course, you will learn the principles of User Experience (UX) design, User Interface (UI) design, and Customer Experience (CX) design, along with the key differences between UX and UI. You will explore tools and techniques for both low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototyping, and understand how to conduct user research to create compelling products and services. The course covers core principles and frameworks for design thinking and information architecture, as well as methods for prototyping and user testing. You’ll gain insight into the iterative process of user-centered design and its various stages, including the application of the 5S Model to create effective user experiences. Additionally, you will learn how to use the User-Centered Design canvas to plan and structure design projects, create information architectures and user flow diagrams, and discover the advantages of paper sketching. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to apply the knowledge gained to effectively showcase your design skills.

Build Dynamic User Interfaces (UI) for Websites is the sixth course in a program that will equip you with the skills you need to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience (UX) design. In this course, you will plan a design for a website, create wireframes and prototypes, and test your designs to get feedback. Additionally, you will learn about engaging in design critique sessions and how to give and receive feedback. By the end of this course, you will have a new design project to include in your professional UX portfolio. In addition, you’ll learn how to search for entry-level UX design jobs, create a resume that highlights your skills and accomplishments, and build your professional portfolio website.

Learn the fundamentals of User Experience (UX) research and design. Become immersed in the UX process of identifying problems and iterating and testing designs to find appropriate solutions. You’ll learn how to empathize with users through best-practice research approaches, and create common UX artifacts such as user personas. And you’ll use UX insights to make appropriate design decisions.

Through hands-on projects and expert-led instruction, you’ll learn the entire UX design process, from conducting user research and creating wireframes to designing high-fidelity mockups and prototypes. You’ll also learn essential soft skills like collaboration and communication, crucial for success in any design role.

Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design is the first of a series of seven courses that will equip you with the skills needed to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience design. UX designers focus on the interactions that people have with products like websites, mobile apps, and physical objects. UX designers make those everyday interactions usable, enjoyable, and accessible. The role of an entry-level UX designer might include empathizing with users, defining their pain points, coming up with ideas for design solutions, creating wireframes, prototypes, and mockups, and testing designs to get feedback.

Solar energy is one of the renewable energies that you can exploit at the lowest costs in the modern era. To learn how to rely on it and benefit from it, follow this course.

The Photovoltaic Systems Design course is designed to provide trainees with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand the design and operation principles of various photovoltaic systems and to perform engineering calculations related to these systems. Participants will first be introduced to the fundamentals and applications of photovoltaic systems, as well as the science of light radiation and the sun. They will also acquire the necessary skills for engineering design and selection of various solar and photovoltaic systems. They will also gain knowledge of photovoltaic technology, silicon, and equivalent circuits for solar cells, enabling them to calculate and estimate electrical loads and photovoltaic system capacity and determine power units. The course also aims to introduce participants to the environmental impact of non-renewable energy systems, the global warming phenomenon, and various alternative energy systems. They will also learn about photon energy and solar radiation in space, on the Earth’s surface, and horizontal and inclined surfaces.

The course takes you through the basic concepts of solar photovoltaic energy, such as the photon-electron phenomenon, the concept of power, energy, electrical loads, and even the concept of the effect of location on the productivity of solar panels.

Upon completing the course, you will be conversant with the opportunities and challenges of renewable energy technologies. You will be comfortable participating in debates and making decisions regarding these technologies. And the knowledge you gain will be foundational for further study of renewable power systems, renewable energy projects, and forecasts for the future of renewable energy. We hope you will join us on our journey!

The Clean Power Program includes best-practice power sector reform policies from the perspectives of legislators, policymakers, the energy sector, investors and civil society. The first course will explain the way that clean power fits into a wider set of political priorities, such as health, technology, energy security, economic growth and the environment, in any country or region. In the second course, the policy landscape for the power sector is described in detail, demonstrating how policies can help stimulate the growth of clean power. The third course outlines the challenges and solutions to integrating different types of power sources into one stable, reliable system.
