Offered by Skillshare,
Whimsical - Flowcharts and Wireframes (Skillshare)

Whimsical is a relatively new online collaboration tool that allows you to build quick flowcharts and wireframes. Think of it as similar to Google docs, in that several users can be on the same screen all working together. Pretty cool! There are no prerequisites for the class and Whimsical has a free tier for up to four boards. Along the way, l have a couple of challenges for you to work on. So, join me in learning to create flowcharts and wireframes with Whimsical.

There are two projects in the class. The first is to design a VUI or Visual User Interface diagram using the flowchart tools. This could be a "skill" in Alexa for example or maybe an app with voice control. I'll give a short example where I'm designing for the Alexa platform.
The second project is using the wireframing tools to build a copy of your favorite website landing page or a whole new concept. I'll be showing you a quick and rough version of Twitter as a wireframe, but you can choose anything.

Validating product ideas with interviews for Product Managers (Skillshare)

I designed this course for Product Managers who have new product or feature ideas and would like to talk to customers and learn whether their idea will fly. This is the first and ultimate question in product development: do customers need my product? Do they need it so dearly that they would actually pay for it? So, how do you figure this out before actually building the product? Well, user research has your back covered. You can find out whether customers need a product or a feature even before you wrote a single line of code.
