Propuesta de creación de la Unidad de apoyo de Entornos Virtuales de la Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo.

Abstract

The objective of this degree work was the creation of the proposal of the Virtual Environments Support Unit of the ESPOCH. An assessment of the competence in the adequate management of ICTs was carried out through survey applied to 222 teachers of the total population, which allowed identifying the shortcomings in the adequate development of their competences. In the same way, an evaluation was applied to virtual environments with the support of the model proposed by Boude and Estrada applied to 333 virtual courses of the total population. In this way, we can identify the flaws in the inappropriate use of the virtual learning environments. The same ones that through the descriptive investigation were subjected to a tabulation process allowing corroborating with the use of statistical graphs the shortcomings identified in the exploratory process. Once the flaws were identified, it was determined that the EVAS do not have mechanisms to monitor and implement strategies and make correct decisions so that teachers can have an adequate use and management of virtual environments by combining an adequate development of competences in the use of ICTs. To solve this problem, there is a need to implement a proposal for a support unit for virtual learning environments that suggest successfully covering each of the previous mechanisms, so that the unit must promote the services that provide for the community.
