Build Wireframes and Low-Fidelity Prototypes Course on Coursera — This course effectively bridges ideation and prototyping. It’s beginner-friendly, offers rich video and reading content, and emphasizes tools like Figma, making it ideal for portfolio-building. However, it assumes completion of intro UX courses.

Pros

  • Excellent tool grounding: paper sketches to Figma rapid prototyping.
  • Strong focus on real-world concerns like bias and deceptive patterns.
  • Integrates ideation frameworks: storyboarding, wireframing, Gestalt principles.

Cons

  • Slight ambiguity in some assignment instructions (e.g., defining wireframe flow).
  • Not advanced: no high-fidelity design, animations, or user testing beyond lo-fi.
