Course Overview

Learn a more thoughtful, elevated approach to UX writing informed by 15+ years of hands-on experience + business lessons going back to the turn of 20th Century.

This course is Scott Kubie’s approach to writing interfaces. It is friendly to beginners, inspiring to experienced UX writers, and not for the faint of heart. If you’ve been learning on your own, God bless you, but this is what you’ve been missing. This course goes way beyond the junk you find on Medium — copy-pasted “UX writing checklists”, copywriters repackaging old advice for marketers, and hamfisted AI-assisted summaries of the books you’d have been better off reading instead.

The specific structure of this course has been developed and refined over two semesters in the Interaction Design MFA program at School of Visual Arts. It’s also been inspired by the hundreds (thousands?) of people who claim to “not be a writer” that have taken one of Scott’s conference workshops or in-house trainings over the last 15 years.

Course Experience

Cohort Space & Onboarding

You’ll have access to an online space for discussions and activities with your fellow learners. It will also include “onboarding” to the course, with recommended reading and videos, as well as an orientation to the technology we’ll be using in the classes if you need it.

Technical Requirements

For class sessions, you will need a fast and reliable internet connection, a webcam, and the ability to access and use Miro, Zoom, and Google Drive. For an optimal experience, we recommend using headphones or earbuds during classes, and a large or secondary computer monitor. Miro can be run in a web browser.

Discussion threads, assigned readings, video recordings, and similar materials are accessible via the web and should work fine on most laptops, tablets, or smartphones.

Class Sessions

Classes will endeavor to start on time and end on time. There is usually not a break in our 90-minute class sessions.

Class Recordings & Materials

We will attempt to record and make available all full-group portions of class — lectures, discussions, and Q&A. Online recordings are subject to glitches and interference, and portions of some classes may not get recorded. Breakout activities and small-group discussions are not recorded, and neither are office hours — these are good opportunities to discuss potentially sensitive challenges in your organization or in your career.

Class recordings and materials may be made available to learners and CCA community members who were not part of your cohort. They will never be posted publicly.

Transcription

Automated captions will be available via Zoom during the class.

Camera Usage

Zoom fatigue is real. First and foremost, take care of yourself. We encourage ‘cameras on’ for introductions, small group discussions and breakout activities, and Q&A. You’re welcome to go ‘camera off’ during lecture portions or as needed for personal reasons.

Certificates and Endorsements

This is not a ‘certified’ course. It is expert-led professional development training. Students who attend most class sessions and complete most coursework can request a certificate of completion. There is no cost for this service.

Highly-engaged students are welcome to request a LinkedIn endorsement about their participation from their instructor at the conclusion of the course.
