Diseño y desarrollo de un sistema integral de gestión para el seguimiento de estudiantes interesados en una carrera universitaria

Abstract

The accompaniment of students in choosing a career in universities is fundamental. In addition, monitoring and communication with students in the enrollment process is essential to avoid inconveniences. Therefore, this research aims to develop an integral management system for the follow-up of pre-enrolled and enrolled students in a university career of the Academic Unit of Informatics, Computer Science, and Technological Innovation of the Catholic University of Cuenca. The methodology used includes requirements analysis, database design, prototype development, implementation, and evaluation of the system. As a result, the following modules were developed in the system: a general listing of records, a dashboard for the generation of statistical graphs, sending of mass messages via WhatsApp and emails, a listing of message records, and an interface for the management of careers, academic periods and users of the system. In conclusion, this system has improved how communication, follow-up, and administration of pre-registrants and registrants are managed, overcoming the old practices based on scattered Excel files.
