Abstract
En la actualidad, el modelo de trabajo de “Computación en la Nube” viene creciendo en el mercado de los servicios tecnológicos debido a los notables beneficios que aporta a las organizaciones, incluyendo a las educativas. En este ámbito, muchas instituciones educativas visualizan como posibles inversiones tecnológicas a plataformas de colaboración en la nube para apoyar las actividades académicas de sus alumnos y facilitar su aprendizaje mediante herramientas interactivas de trabajo. Al ser el aprendizaje del alumnado uno de los principales objetivos de una organización, las mejoras que se implementen en las instituciones educativas deben estar orientadas a ese objetivo. Asimismo, sólo una adecuada difusión de la implementación y la plataforma, permitirá alcanzar una implantación exitosa en la que todo el público objetivo logre usar la herramienta y obtener los beneficios esperados. La presente investigación utiliza diagramas de problemas y actividades para identificar la problemática actual, y de esta forma se plantea el flujo mejorado aplicando la plataforma de colaboración Office 365 que se ha implementado en la UNIFE. Específicamente, esta investigación se enfoca en evaluar el impacto que tendría la aplicación de la plataforma de colaboración office 365, en el actual proceso de aprendizaje del alumnado, cómo se facilitaría el trabajo y si es posible reforzar los conocimientos. Como herramienta de trabajo se utiliza la capacitación al alumnado, pues de esta forma se hace llegar a este grupo los conocimientos que necesitan para aprovechar en su totalidad los beneficios ofrecidos por la plataforma, así como mostrarles los nuevos entornos que tendrían para colaborar en grupo y organizar su información académica. Al ser un gran problema el que el alumnado no esté usando completamente la plataforma de colaboración por desconocimiento o falta de interés, se finaliza la investigación con unas recomendaciones para la gestión del cambio dentro de la organización de modo que se obtengan los resultados planeados. Es necesario que los usuarios más influyentes conozcan los beneficios de la plataforma de modo que sean un apoyo en la implantación de la plataforma en la institución. Además, el tener un grupo representativo de alumnos, docentes y administrativos capacitados en la plataforma facilitaría la difusión en cada entorno de la universidad. La Universidad Femenina del Sagrado Corazón ha optado por un avance tecnológico que puede traer muchos beneficios a su público interno, y es importante hacerle el seguimiento respectivo para que cumpla su objetivo. Esto le permitirá estar al nivel o mejor que las otras universidades del sector, brindando un servicio de valor agregado que impactará en el bienestar de sus estudiantes, y permitirá optimizar recursos en seguridad, escalabilidad, costo y mantenimiento.
Nowadays, the working model of "Cloud Computing" has been growing in the market of technological services due to the remarkable benefits benefits for organizations, including the educational ones. In this area, many educational institutions see collaborative platforms in the cloud as possible technological investments in order to support the academic activities of their students and make easier their learning through interactive tools. Being student`s learning process one of the main objectives of an organization, improvements to be implemented in educational institutions should be geared towards that goal. Also, only adequate dissemination of implementation and platform, will achieve a successful implementation in which all target achieved using the tool and realize expected benefits. This research uses diagrams of problems and activities to identify current problems, and thus arise with the improved flow using the collaboration platform Office 365 deployed in the UNIFE. Specifically, this research focuses on evaluating the impact that the implementation of the collaboration platform Office 365 has in the current process of student learning proccess, how work is easier and if it`s possible to enhance knowledge. Training to students is used as a working tool, because this way this group can reach the knowledge they need to fully exploit the benefits offered by the platform and to show the new environments they would have to work in groups and organize their academic information. Being a major problem that students are not fully using the collaborative platform because of ignorance or lack of interest, research concludes with recommendations for the management of change within the organization so that the planned results. It is necessary that the most influential users know the benefits of the platform so they could be a support in the implementation of the platform in the institution. Also, having a representative group of students, faculty and staff trained in the platform would make it easier the diffusion in each environment of the university. The Universidad Femenina del Sagrado Corazón (Women`s University of the Sacred Heart) has chosen a technological breakthrough that can bring many benefits to their workforce, and it is important to give the respective track to meet its target. This will allow them to be at or better than the other universities in the industry, providing a value added service that will impact on the welfare of their students, and will optimize resource security, scalability, cost and maintenance.
