ACC-PLAN: uma plataforma para auxiliar discentes no planejamento das atividades complementares

Abstract

To complete a higher education course it is necessary to complete complementary activities, one of the completion requirements. Due to rules, various activity options and workload limits, students may have difficulty planning their complementary activities, making it difficult to complete. To assist with this problem, a platform was developed in which students of the Análise e Desenvolvimento de Sistemas course at the Instituto Federal do Piauí - Campus Picos can choose the complementary activities they will carry out and decide when they will carry them out, helping with planning. The development of the website was carried out using an iterative and incremental agile methodology that is divided into the Inception stages; Design and prototyping; Implementation and Evaluation. The solution was evaluated using performance tests to verify the quality of the solution and usability testing to evaluate the user experience. The performance test carried out on PageSpeed Insights showed good performance and the user evaluation in the usability test was positive. The results obtained demonstrated the potential of the solution in helping students in planning and, consequently, in completing complementary activities. In this way, it was possible to help mitigate one of the possible causes for students' difficulty in completing complementary activities.
