Abstract

Over time, education has changed thanks to technology, and in both public and private institutions a complementary platform to traditional teaching is essential. Seen from this point, there is no doubt that online education platforms allow communication to be improved through multiple channels, classes are more didactic and there is better control of students and teachers; In this perspective, training companies that offer online courses also make use of these technologies, in addition to increasing usability and comfort so that education is completely online.

Based on the foregoing, this project has the purpose of developing and implementing an online education platform in the GAIA company in the city of Ambato. It should be noted that the company in question did not have an online education platform and did not have a means to offer online courses. Therefore, the implementation of the project allows to provide a better service to its students and increase the demand for the courses.

The online education platform was developed in ReactJS, to improve the performance and loading of the website, likewise Redux was used to manage states and the Axios tool was used for interaction with the API. The API was built using the Nest.js framework. The relational database system called MySQL was implemented for its usability and open source. In addition, the React projects were deployed with the yarn tool. Finally, the methodology used for the design and development of the platform was the Extreme Programming (XP) methodology.
