Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Figma is a robust cloud-based graphical interface design tool that is becoming indispensable in training IT professionals. It allows students to acquire technical skills and develop creativity, crucial for competitiveness in the modern labour market. Integrating Figma into the educational process provides future IT professionals with tools for working with prototypes and design. It allows them to work on team projects in real time, bringing students closer to real-world design conditions. Unlike traditional tools, Figma offers a cloud-based environment where students can create and edit interfaces from any device, providing easy access and flexibility in learning. This is particularly useful in a distance learning environment where students can collaborate on assignments using collaborative editing, commenting and interactive prototyping functionality. Figma actively promotes the development of creative competencies, stimulates divergent thinking through prototyping tools, and facilitates teamwork and idea sharing. Its rich plugin templates provide students with additional opportunities to create unique solutions. Hands-on learning of Figma tools in courses such as Computer Graphics and GUI Design allows students to gain practical experience and creative problem-solving skills, which is extremely valuable for future employment.
