Application for measurement and analysis of the behavior of students during a course using the UWE (UML-Based Web Engineering) methodology

The Academic Computer Systems Department of the Autonomous University of Baja California Sur has been implemented as one of the strategies to reduce dropout and failure rates, measure and analyze the academic performance of each of the students during the courses, to identify factors that may influence academic performance. This requires having a tool that facilitates the teaching record each student's work during the course, and that this information is available throughout the course period. This paper describes the development of a web application that allows the teacher to keep track of the activities within the classroom, in an efficient, easy, convenient, anywhere Internet access is presented. This application concentrates in one place the information regarding the academic performance of students by providing access to reliable and timely information to the decision maker.
