Desarrollo de un sistema de comercio electrónico para la gestión de ventas de contenidos educativos

Abstract

Today, due to COVID-19, which has changed the way we live, work and communicate, the education industry gained a better understanding of the potential of the online learning market, which provides both teachers and students with a variety of advanced integrated tools, which in turn allow quick access from anywhere and at any time. any moment. In this way, training through online education improves performance and productivity by allowing students to complete their training faster, easier and at their own convenience. While there are several options for delivering education online, only personalized e-learning platforms have the most significant revenue potential. That is why the objective of this work was to develop an electronic commerce system for the management of educational content sales, where different users and content providers can list their courses and learning material, and obtain remuneration. cheap for it. For this purpose, the system was built based on a learning destination site model, which has characteristics of an online store or e-commerce. Under this concept, the PEAN development technology stack was used, which used PostgreSQL as a database manager, NodeJS and Express framework on the server side, to perform CRUD operations on the data, and Angular as a user interface framework. . This web application package, by using a SQL-based database, focused on data integrity and consistency, which allowed for greater organization and structuring of data. On the other hand, the use of Angular, with a modular and component-based structure, which makes the code reusable, it enabled a faster development process, stable, responsive, efficient and high-quality web platform, with readable and testable code. Likewise, on this development environment, the design line based on the client-server architecture was used based on the three-layer model; where the presentation layer was in charge of the user's interaction with the system, the application layer of the connection of the client with the server and the data layer stored all the information of the platform. This architectural pattern determined how the components of the application: internal processes, user interface and database, communicate with each other. This entire process was developed on the guidelines of the XP methodology, which focuses more on adaptability and responsiveness to changing customer requirements, which allowed greater control over the project, and a more effective and efficient implementation. . As a result, the use of these web technologies showed a positive performance in the quality evaluation carried out according to the standards of the ISO/IEC 25010 model, obtaining an overall score of 4.8 out of 5 on the Likert scale.
