Diseño e Implementación de una Aplicación Web para Gestión de Proyectos de Vinculación de una Institución de Educación Superior.

Abstract

The research presented here aims to create and implement a web application to manage community outreach projects for the Faculty of Health Sciences. This initiative arose from the need to improve administrative processes related to student registration, tracking, and validation of completed hours, as well as to systematize field activities. An agile methodology was used for its development, allowing the system to be divided into functional modules and enabling changes and improvements based on the institution's needs. The web application integrates the management of user registration, project assignment, time tracking, evidence storage, and automatic report generation. This aims to ensure better information organization, reduce errors in manual processes, and facilitate timely access to the information necessary for decision-making. Simultaneously, the system incorporates traceability mechanisms to verify activity completion and ensure the accuracy of stored records. The results obtained during the system's implementation demonstrate a significant improvement in the administrative management of outreach projects. Specifically, the time required to consolidate reports has decreased, and monitoring student progress has become easier. Overall, the proposed tool helps improve collaboration between the university and the community, fostering more efficient management and promoting the development of professional skills related to higher education.
