Desarrollo de un sistema prototipo de videoconferencias mediante WebRTC para un Instituto Tecnológico.

Abstract

With the arrival of mobility restrictions, due to the health emergency around the world, by the pandemic of COVID-19, it was necessary to maintain a communication channel that allows the interaction of people to continue with daily activities. It is at this moment where digital platforms become more relevant and are booming, developing and improving existing applications, especially in the commercial and educational fields. For the latter, paid platforms have been developed that allow access to a virtual classroom, such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, among others, where students and teachers can simulate the educational environment in a conventional classroom. Therefore, a prototype of a web application has been developed that allows the “Instituto Superior Tecnológico Sucre” to communicate through videoconferencing using WebRTC technology. This degree work consists of four chapters which are mentioned below. In chapter one the reader will find relevant information about the project, such as objectives, scope and the theoretical framework that contains references about web communications through the use of WebRTC technology, the type of system architecture, the most common APIs supported in videoconferencing systems. This is followed by a description of the servers used for the implementation of the prototype. In chapter two the methodology used for the development of the Web application is presented. This is done in Kanban, mentioning the functional and non-functional requirements, the design and implementation of the system. Chapter three presents the tests performed in the work environment for the evaluation of the system's operation, which at the end are analyzed and possible errors are corrected. Finally, in chapter four there is a review with the conclusions and recommendations of the researcher regarding the proposed and implemented prototype.
