Description

Today, communication through the use of technological devices has been massified, and thanks to it, in these times of pandemic, work, educational, social, playful challenges, among others, has been met. People and organizations make use of technological means daily, consuming the resources available to them, this causes users to spend long hours in front of these devices. These resources, including social media platforms, videoconference, news, e-learning; They are consumed massively and constitute an adequate means to disseminate appropriate and educational content for society. On the other hand, due to confinement, children and adolescents (NNA) carry out many activities in front of the computer, including socialization, learning, entertainment. This, in some cases, has also led to negative activities, including cyberbullying in pairs. It is common that, in the face -to -face, many children, suffer harassment within the classrooms and community spaces; Not the exception is networks and cyber spaces. This has affected his physical and mental health, generating episodes of anxiety and suffering, with an extremely negative impact for his mental health. In this context and thanks to the juncture between the long times of technological exposure and the available platforms, it has become clear that education, responsibility and empathy in peers need to promote favorably; Thus, one of the ways in which positive practices can be introduced, is through the consumption of learning capsules with appropriate content for children, adolescents, and by extension for the people around them. This type of education, very different from the traditional one, since it does not need the person to internalize it and to request it, but on the contrary, it reaches the public as free resources are consumed (eg, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, online games, YouTube, among others) can constitute an almost invisible mechanism to educate the population and improve and promote a harmonious, empathic and responsible life that allows them to It has to grow respecting their rights and being responsible for their obligations and actions towards other people. Hence, this project proposes, the creation of a method for the implementation and deployment of learning capsules, in order to educate and reach a large number of people, according to the applications that the end users consume. It should be noted that these types of solutions, in the future, will not only educate people on issues related to the proposed here, but can be applied to a diversity of useful content for society. In addition, this solution will not only allow deployment, but also, the creation of capsules focused on NNA, their family system and the educational system in general. Finally, a set of three capsules will be created with different purposes, thus demonstrating the feasibility and applicability of the proposal. To do this, the services provided by the Ecuadorian Corporation for the development of research and academia (CEDIA) will be used. The problem to be addressed will contain a strong educational and technological component, where virtual education methodologies and techniques, software engineering, among others; And, multidisciplinarity by involving areas related to psychology and communication. Finally, the solution will be evaluated by using technological acceptance models for domain experts and people who make up the educational system.
