Desarrollo del sistema de gestión de un repositorio de objetos de aprendizaje en la Escuela de Ingeniería en Sistemas–ESPOCH.

Abstract

In the School of Systems Engineering (SSE) at Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH) a small amount of educational content applied becomes one of the causes that generates a poor interest when using the E-virtual platform, therefore, this work developed a system called Repository of Learning Objects (ROA) in order to publish the resources and learning objects of free access. Scrum was used as a software methodology, hardware and software tools, also the functionalities are based upon the specifications of the Instructional Management System (IMS) to ensure interoperability of the repository, so the web-based system allows the management and publication of learning objects in an appropriate way. In order to demonstrate the increase of learning objects published in the repository, two study groups have been defined, besides, observation and bibliographic review techniques were used to collect data. With 95% of reliability, the average number of learning objects obtained is 1 and 3.4 for the control and experimental group respectively, in relation to the characteristics of 5 specific subjects of the SSE defined for the study groups. Based on the statistical inference through the application of the T-student test, it is determined that there are significant differences in the means, therefore, it is concluded that the ROA system increases by 240% the amount of learning objects related to the 5 subjects of the study groups that allows to improve the collaboration and reuse of the educational contents in the SSE. It is recommended to define a conservation plan for learning objects managed in the ROA system for a proper administration without affecting the purpose of the repository.
