Analysis of the implementation of the educational services portal: EducarEcuador

Abstract

This article presents the analysis of the implementation of the EducarEcuador educational platform in the national education system, as well as the importance of using virtual platforms today. It is necessary to emphasize that there are areas that due to their geographical and economic location do not have access to information and communication technologies (ICT). The research will allow to know the status of the implementation of the virtual platform EducarEcuador. This research will be carried out from a review of different bibliographic sources, and experiences and research results on the EducarEcuador platform were investigated. The results obtained from the analysis of statistical documents of the Ministry of Education and the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC) were also used. However, the investigations found are at the institutional, cantonal or provincial level. This does not allow knowing the real status of the implementation of the EducarEcuador platform in the entire Ecuadorian educational environment. The research seeks to evaluate the rate of incorporation of the virtual platform in the country's educational institutions. Among the results, it is perceived that the implementation and management of the platform's tools has been more well received in the jurisdiction. In addition, the lack of technological infrastructure in the country is perceived. Consequently, the absence of infrastructure limits the management of the educational platform. However, it does not only limit users but it strongly limits the implementation of this platform.
