Mobile application for distributing information to students at the Sciences and Humanities University

Abstract

Currently, educational institutions around the world have implemented many standards and rules to ensure teaching quality. Many of these standards and rules are related to the use of technologies that provide students with services and facilities to learn. However, in Peru, a Latin American country, these standards and rules have been recently implemented, and as a result, information systems are required to guarantee teaching quality. This research exposes the implementation of a mobile application for distributing and managing information for students and teachers who require data about courses, grades, absences, and receive news about important university announcements. This work applied both research methods and Scrum methodologies together to demonstrate how the education process benefits from the use of technologies. As a result of these implementations, processes like finding academic information improved by an average of 50%. These results support that the implementation of mobile application technologies in educational environments is beneficial for guaranteeing process improvement and teaching quality.
