User-centered Approach and Low-Code Framework for Prototyping and Income-based Education

Entering the Society 5.0 era, the role of Higher Education level has increased as high demand for innovation. As part of it, agility in software development is primarily a skill set required when the student needs to “make real” their innovation. For first-year students, developing software or prototyping some software as a product is complex and hard to implement. Collaboration among students to learn to solve real problems as early as possible will be beneficial. On the other hand, designing software with attention to the Human Factor is necessary. This paper presents the implementation of User-centered Design Canvas and Low-Code Framework to support students conducting Rapid Prototyping as part of Income-based Education. As a result, an integration of UX design supportive tools and a low-code framework rapid prototyping platform has been developed. And 63 % of students from 58 participants expressed that the developed platform helps the prototyping process
