Content scheduling

This course delves into the "Implement" and "Operate" stages of the CDIO framework using Low-Code/No Code (LCNC) tools. The students will complete a LCNC project including the following steps:
- Introduction to Software Development and LCNC Platforms
- Implementation with LCNC Platform
- Testing, Feedback, and Iteration

The course is implemented during weeks 38 - 50 as follows:
- Theory, weeks 38 - 47: 2h contact session for 9 weeks
- Practice, weeks 39 - 49: 2h contact session with your own tutor
- Group work, weeks 48-49: 2h independent working
- Final event, week 50

Objective

By the end of this course, students can:

understand the role of no-code and low-code tools in design processes.
design basic solutions in NCLC platforms.
collaborate in teams on an NCLC project.
consider NCLC implementation constraints and opportunities.
evaluate their NCLC-implemented projects.
reflect on the entire process.

Materials

Material provided by the teacher and shared in learning environment (ITS).

Teaching methods

This course consists of:
- lectures: theoretical background and demonstrating the use of various low code/ no-code frameworks and environments that can be used for example in software / game / web development.
- practice sessions: practicing the use of LCNC tools introduced in lecture, learning project working skills
- group work: students will complete a LCNC project where they use the tools and skills learned in lectures and practice

Exam schedules

International connections

In the course, skills are learned through exercises and practical project work.

Only electronic materials are used in the implementation.

Completion alternatives

Student workload

The student completes tasks related to the course, with an estimated workload:
- Theory lessons: 9 x 2h = 18h
- Practical lessons: 10 x 2h = 20h
- Group work: 2 x 2h = 4h
- Final event: 4h
