In response to the dire labor market shortage in Information Technology (IT), low-code environments that allow users to quickly develop applications without learning programming are skyrocketing in popularity, since low-code reduces the need for professional software developers. The demand for low-code skills is rising. Based on this growth, universities can provide students with a definite skills advantage as they enter the IT workforce by teaching low-code development. This descriptive case study explores students’ perceptions of developing prototypes within a low-code environment in a Systems Analysis and Design (SA&D) course. Students were surveyed to gather their perceptions of prototyping in a low-code environment. The data was analyzed using thematic coding. The results show that while students’ perceptions of low-code prototyping were positive, with the majority of students agreeing that low-code was easy-to-use and helpful, there were also drawbacks, such as missing the opportunity to develop coding skills and limitations of the low-code environment. While low-code environments are useful for creating prototypes, faculty should be cautious in replacing traditional coding skills entirely with low-code. The significance of this study is that the results, coupled with the curricular artifacts, provide faculty with the impetus and tools to implement low-code prototyping in their courses.
