UI Design course/seminar suggestions

["Karen Casemier" <kcrazzmatazz -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

I'm looking for a good intro-level course or seminar on user interface 
design. UI design has always been an area of interest for me, and after 
sneaking my way onto a couple of small projects, I've now gotten the 
go-ahead to get some formal training. I'm looking for something focused on 
software design vs. web stuff.

Of course, I already googled and I have a couple of leads. Now I'm looking 
for personal recommendations.

One option I'm considering--actually the number one option on my list due to 
cost and convenience factor--is a four week online course offered by 
onlinelearning.com. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has either 
taken the UI course or any other courses through this company.

My budget is not huge (I'm not sure what the exact figure is). However, the 
biggest problem is travel (air fare) and lodging, which is why online 
courses appeal to me. Second choice would be something within driving 
distance of Western Michigan, such as Chicago or Indianapolis. (I know Jared 
Spool will be doing a one day seminar in Chicago soon, but that is a web 
thing.)

If you have negative experiences about any particular companies, you can 
e-mail me directly so I can know what to avoid. I'm sure there are others 
who would be interested in hearing which courses and seminars are 
worthwhile, so you can post positive reviews to the list.

Thanks!
