Shape the future of UX research

Our Course Types

Methods Courses

Our vision is to cover the entire spectrum of research methods relevant to UX research, from the foundational level to the advanced. Tracks will include:

  • Qualitative Research
  • Quantitative Research
  • Mixed Methods
  • Usability Testing

Impact Courses

Doing UX research that really matters involves so much more than mastering methods. Impact courses are a broad and flexible category that teach all the skills "around the research."

Here are some examples of possible early-career Impact course topics:

  • Business fundamentals for researchers
  • Crafting effective deliverables
  • Navigating organizational politics


And examples of mid- to later-career course topics:

  • New managers: how to hire, grow, and lead a research team
  • Navigating the C-suite as a research leader
  • Research prioritization
Transform your expertise into courses that launch careers and elevate the industry.

Our mission is to make it easier for UX researchers at all levels to build new skills and grow in their careers.

Interested in sharing your expertise? We warmly welcome new teachers.

We provide support at every step, from choosing a course idea that's likely to be a hit, to developing and launching the course for the first time. Once the course is live, there is plenty of coaching and support when you need it.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do I need teaching experience to become an instructor?

    No. While teaching experience is helpful, it's not required. Our Course Development Toolkit and instructor mentorship program are specifically designed to help experienced researchers transition into effective educators.

    I'm interested. What are the next steps?

    After you get in touch via email or using the form below, well schedule a 30-minute discovery call to discuss your background and potential course topics.

    If it's a good fit, we'll have you complete a brief course outline. We'll review the outline in a planning session, and share our course development toolkit. That will give you everything you need to start planning your course content.

    We'll review a draft of your course content and give feedback, then you'll be ready to start scheduling your course.

    What support do I get when creating my course?

    You'll receive a comprehensive Course Development Toolkit, one-on-one mentorship from experienced educator-practitioners, peer review opportunities, technical platform training, and access to our private instructor community.

    How soon can I start teaching?

    The course development process can be completed in as little as 2-3 weeks of part-time effort. We begin marketing courses a month before their start date.

    Do I own my course content?

    Yes, you retain full ownership of all course materials, curriculum, and intellectual property you create. UXR Institute provides the platform and support, but the content remains yours.

    Can I choose my own course topic and format?

    Yes. We work with you to identify the most valuable aspects of your expertise and help structure them into engaging course formats. We do expect all instructors to follow best practices that drive student learning outcomes, but there is a great deal of flexibility in there.

    Can I create a pre-recorded course instead of teaching live?

    No, we exclusively offer live courses because that's the most effective way for people to learn. Live instruction allows for real-time Q&A, immediate feedback on exercises, and dynamic discussions that can't be replicated in recorded content.

    How are instructors compensated?

    Instructors receive a generous percentage of course revenue based on enrollments. Specific compensation details are discussed during the application process.
