Aplicación de escritorio para la gestión de horarios escolares en la Unidad Educativa Inés Cobo Donoso del cantón Pujilí, provincia Cotopaxi.

Abstract

Nowaday, the use of technology has become a necessary resource to organize information. In Ecuador, The Ministerio de Educación prepares the curriculum for the country's educational units, but each of these is responsible for preparing and delivering the teaching distributive along with school hours, so it is necessary to have a computer tool that optimizes the time spent for these activities. The purpose of this project is to develop and implement a computer application to manage the school timetables of The Unidad Educativa Inés Cobo Donoso, due to the fact that the manual procedures currently carried out in the institution are not efficient and take more time than necessary. As a result, the following processes were streamlined: Management of Teachers, Students, Courses, Classrooms, Subjects, Instruments, Preparation of Timetables and Preparation of the Teaching Schedule. The Extreme Programming (XP) software development methodology was used, which facilitated the organization of activities by establishing delivery times in each of the user stories until the functional application was obtained. The desktop application was developed with the .NET 7 framework with its compatible programming language C# applying an N-Layer architecture to maintain flexibility, maintainability and scalability. MySQL was used as the database engine. Finally, the application installer was generated, which was implemented in the Educational Unit.
