Platform Design Canvas Adaptation for Rapid Prototyping and Project-based Learning amid Covid-19 Pandemic

ABSTRACT

This article discusses how students can use Platform Design Canvas to help them construct a prototype for a Project-based Learning assignment. Project-based learning was carried out by students with an interdisciplinary background. The Platform Design Canvas is a new approach to software development that aims to improve alignment between design thinking and business goals. The Platform Design Canvas was introduced as an acceleration tool for rapid prototyping, based on the Business Model Canvas, to assure the efficiency and productivity of platform ecosystems. As a result, more than 65 percent of students think that Platform Design Canvas adaptation is suitable for examining features and defining business goals for prototyping. According to the Log Metric Analysis, Students accomplished a designated task in less than 5 minutes with minimal repetition. This shows that the proposed adaption is uncomplicated to use and that the Platform Design Canvas is effective for rapid prototyping.
