AppFactory for Enhanced IT Innovation

The University of Twente case is a perfect example of how the low-code platforms can foster IT innovation in the education sector. The university utilized the Mendix AppFactory to gain more control over its IT innovation projects and speed up the surrounding processes. This not only increased agility with shorter lead times and predictable delivery but also paved the way for a culture of co-creation of custom software. The benefits include:

  • Increased IT Control: The AppFactory concept allows educational institutions to have a higher degree of control over their IT innovation projects.
  • Fostered Co-Creation Culture: The implementation of the AppFactory encourages a culture of co-creation of custom software, relieving the IT department from being the sole responsible agent in digital innovation.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Student Portal for Enhanced Student Experience

Low-code platforms make it easy to create student portals. These portals give students real-time information about their courses, grades, and control over their educational track. They also help with online learning, which has become more important due to COVID-19. Students can join digital classrooms, take exams online, reserve library seats, sign up for exams, order textbooks, and more. The benefits include:

  • Student Experience: By offering students real-time insights into their courses and grades, educational institutions can improve the student experience, leading to increased satisfaction and engagement.
  • Administrative Efficiency: By allowing students to access information through the portal, educational institutions can lighten the load on administrative staff, enhancing their efficiency.

Legacy Software and Applications Modernization

Legacy systems in the education sector can be tough to deal with because they're old and not flexible. The shift to online learning due to COVID-19 made this even clearer. Current systems weren't built for this, so quick changes were needed. Low-code platforms offer a modern, adaptable, and cost-effective way to upgrade these systems. They can work well with new technologies and help make these quick changes possible. The results are clear:

  • Functionality Preservation: Low-code solutions can conserve certain functionalities of your legacy systems, allowing for the addition of reusable functional components without writing individual lines of code.
  • Efficiency Improvement: By modernizing legacy systems, educational institutions can reduce downtime and errors, enhancing operational efficiency and enabling a more effective learning environment.
