Software para la automatización de formatos académicos de prácticas profesionales y vinculación de la Universidad Católica de Cuenca

Abstract

The Catholic University of Cuenca is undergoing an era of technological innovation and process automation. Currently, it faces a significant challenge in managing the forms related to pre-professional internships, community service, and internal internships, which are still managed manually. This involves a large amount of paperwork and administrative processes, which causes delays both in the preparation of the forms by the students and in their review and approval by the teaching staff. This situation significantly affects operational efficiency, increases the administrative burden, and complicates the timely monitoring of student progress in these key curricular components. Therefore, it is evident that an advanced digital solution is required for the comprehensive management of these documents. This need is justified by the limitations of the current manual handling system, which is not only prone to errors but also lacks agility and traceability in dynamic educational environments. The development of software based on digital technologies, process automation, and cloud storage would enable a substantial improvement in work efficiency, ensuring greater transparency, security, and accessibility in document management. This digital transformation would not only optimize the time of students and teachers, but also raise the quality of academic and administrative processes, aligning with the requirements of modern and efficient higher education.
