Desarrollo de una aplicación web educativa orientada al aprendizaje de arquitectura de computadores.

Abstract

In the year 2020 the pandemic forced the education to be carried out in virtual mode, so that all students either from schools, colleges, universities, technological institutes, among others were forced to learn through this modality. However, technology is one of the means that has facilitated the change of modality in education, since from a cell phone to a computer you can get a much more direct connection with the teacher and obtain learning applications. In this way, the student is able to generate self-learning.

On the other hand, at the School for the Training of Technologists (ESFOT) in the second semester of the Software Development course, the subject of Computer Architecture (TDSD232) is taught. However, since it is a subject with a broad content in terms of topics, only the most important ones are covered during a semester. In that sense, all the extra material and resources are published in the Moodle platform for the learning of the subject, but at the end of the academic period all that information is eliminated and access to the content is withdrawn for the student.

In order to help students in their learning process and skills in this field of computer science, a mobile application has been developed to provide them with all the information related to the subject of Computer Architecture, thus facilitating the acquisition and reinforcement of knowledge on topics such as: general concepts, preventive and corrective maintenance of computer equipment and a section to evaluate and measure the knowledge acquired. The educational web application is available for the teacher to manage all the digital and multimedia content related to the syllabus of the subject.
