As a team of one, I always struggled with knowing if I was doing work the right way. Since I didn't have a UXR manager or anyone else who properly understood how to do user research, I didn't have anyone to model my work after.

I would spend hours googling other peoples' research projects to understand how I could better plan projects, how people did interviews, or what types of questions people asked on screener surveys. Unfortunately, I could never find the level of depth of information I wanted online. It was impossible to find examples of real work.

That's why I knew I needed to create this course.

This course gives you an actual real-life project that I conducted. Not only do you get access to all the materials from the project, but a video course that walks you through everything you need to know when planning and executing a research project, from start to finish. 

This is the only course that gives you access to a real project, helping you to move beyond theory and actually apply learnings to your work!

You'll get access to a video course walking you through how a professional UX researcher plans and executes a real-life research project. You'll see how I made decisions about each phase of the project, but more importantly, you'll get access to:

• All the data collected during the project, including interviews, diary study tasks, screener surveys, and analysis 
• All the assets I developed to execute the project and synthesize my findings (along with my templates) 
• Free access to the dscout platform (for this project only!) where you can manipulate the data yourself to practice your skills having mine as a benchmark

We will cover these major topics:

• Introduction to the dscout platform and the course
• Context on the project and the process of creating a research plan
• How I recruited participants through a screener survey
• How I chose the participants who responded
• An overview on how I chose and wrote the diary study tasks
• How I created the interview guide and wrote the interview questions
• An introduction to and overview of the interviews
• How I reviewed the data, created tags, and organized a large amount of responses (25 diary study participants!)
• How I analyzed and synthesized the data
• How you can use the data to practice applying your skills
