UX Design Fundamentals

I haven’t taken this, but this looks like a high-quality, free UX course: https://www.coursera.org/learn/ux-design-fundamentals

Design Training

I'm trying to find a ux design education platform for a team of developers and was curious if anyone here had feedback or thoughts on what was successful at your company or with you specifically. The group I'm attempting to find education for is mostly back-end ruby on rails developers with very little experience with design. I would ideally like three levels of education for various members of the team, with an intro to UX, fundamentals, and maybe a human centered design class - ideally all within the same suite of education if possible. Also ideally it's something a developer can complete during their down time at work, not a daily scheduled class.

Right now, my top contenders are:

• Interaction Design Foundation
• Future Learn, Future Learn
• Treehouse
• Udemy
• SkillShare
• Learn UI
• Coursera, Coursera

I'm a design professional with no "formal" training in user experience, but have honed my skill set over about an 8 year span (4 spent freelancing) and without having gone through a bootcamp or online training myself, I'm having trouble finding what's appropriate for someone completely foreign to the field.

*Edit - I'll also say I looked into NN Group and while I belive they'll probably be the best education option, their cost turned me (and my company) away.

Thanks

Sorry I completely forgot to respond to this.

In my experience Tech Writing has basically two branching tracks for advancement into higher-paying positions. One is the engineering route, where you're expected to have a CS degree and deep knowledge of various programming languages for developer and API documentation. The other is the "creative" route which eventually leads to UI/UX design/writing. Unfortunately my understanding of coding languages pretty much ends at CSS. I've tried learning Python and Javascript, but I just don't have the brain and/or patience for it. I have a background in design principles already, so UX makes the most sense for me.

So of those two branches, I'd say the developer/API route requires much more "technical" knowledge than the UX rote.

I'm using various online resources to expand my UX background, and I'm about to start a Coursera UX course, as well, which will cost me a few hundred bucks but should be worth it. Here's some links:

There are other options besides Coursera, of course (zing!), but you may find what you need through youtube alone. Depends what you feel you need, I guess.

hey guys, I am been confused between these two courses
1.https://www.coursera.org/learn/ux-design-fundamentals - this is offered by Cal arts
2.https://www.coursera.org/specializations/interaction-design- this one is called interaction design and is offered by San diego university. (This one seems more technical and is labeled for ''intermediate'' students.
They both seem pretty great and i don't know which one to take, i am very new to this field but very much interested to learn UX and hopefully create a portfolio soon. Just finding best possible and structured ways to learn about ux. Any help and suggestions would be great.

ps- can't afford bootcamps, i live in india and after coverting the rates it costs a bomb.
