Abstract
Legacy curriculum support systems have simple functions for syllabus searching and lecture registration. However, students, who are educational service customers, have different characteristics such as career goals, potentials, and interests. However, students are provided fixed curricula which are designed by educational service providers. In this paper, we propose a preliminary curriculum support system based on a service science approach for becoming information technology specialists. The aim of this system is to support completion activities through which students can design a suitable curriculum to reach to their individual career goals. For evaluation, we selected 10 graduates of university A, who gave us feedback and comments on the proposed system and the curriculum which they had completed. We checked the overlap between the curriculum provided to the graduates and the recommended curriculum by our system. As a result, our system records 57.66% overlap between the recommended courses and courses taken by graduates. We expect that this system can become an interactive support system between students and service providers for value co-creation.
