The use of User-centered Design Canvas for Rapid Prototyping

Abstract

This paper presents the use of User-Centered Design Canvas to help students design the user experience (UX) on the designated Collaborative Projects. The Collaborative Project itself has been conducted by students with multi-discipline backgrounds. The User-Centered design itself was widely used as an approach to software development in order to achieve better alignment between the user experience and the business goal. Adopting Business Model Canvas, the User-Centered Design Canvas was introduced as an acceleration tool for rapid prototyping and ensures the effectiveness and efficient manner for the sake of user satisfaction. As the results from the questionnaire, more than 78% of users express the benefits of the current adaptation of User-Centered Design Canvas. Also from the Log Metric Analysis, users2 have completed a designated task under 5 minutes with minimum repetition. This indicates that the use of proposed adaptation is easy to use and shows the effectiveness of the User-Centered Design Canvas for rapid prototyping.
