Plataforma virtual colaborativa supervisada para el refuerzo académico en el proceso de aprendizaje de estudiantes de las carreras de Tecnologías de la Información y Software

Abstract

With this project, higher education students of Information Technology and Software careers were provided with a supervised collaborative virtual platform for academic reinforcement to request help from a specific online community made up of students or specialists in areas related to said careers. or in turn have the possibility of requesting meetings to receive personalized training on various topics. Additionally, a user can share files of various types with the community in order to expand knowledge in the community. For the supervision of the contributions to the requirements of a user, the members of the community were separated into two groups, these are specialists and collaborators. Each member of the community is able to add any type of contribution, but in the same way you can add ratings and reviews to contributions from other members within the community, giving users within the platform a clearer view of the quality of said contributions. In the development of this project, a heuristic evaluation based on Nielsen web usability principles is applied to evaluate the usability of educational tools used by students. Also, an object-oriented hypermedia design web development methodology (OOHDM) is applied for the construction of the proposed web platform, the same heuristic evaluation was also applied to this platform to measure its level of usability. The architecture used in the project is client/server for which free software development tools are used. For the construction of the server, NodeJs and Express are used, in which the connection to a database is made in the MySQL manager while the Angular framework is used for the client and Bootstrap for the styling of the pages.
