Modelo de adequação do sistema do Instituto de aperfeiçoamento de professores a exigências actuais

Abstract

The Institute for the Improvement of Teachers - IAP carries out its activity (training of teachers and education staff) throughout the national territory through the distance learning system and covers points that are completely geographically distinct but also completely "close" by the information that they produce and consume because of their high level of similarity and need for sharing. The proximity of these points can be guaranteed by the use of Information and Communication Technologies - ICT due to the transmission and storage facilities they offer. It is important to point out that, for the best use of the ICT facilities, it is not enough to implement it, it is necessary first of all, how to implement it, that is, what methodology and solutions to adopt. It is in the context of how to implement that the present work, before presenting the intended model, makes an approach to the adopted methodology and to different technological aspects. UML, like the different Object Oriented Analysis - AOO methodologies, provides less analysis effort, less complexity in the system design, and easy verification by the user. It is flexible in capturing requirements and creates ease of communication between developers and owners and/or users, resulting in building the system very close to what is desired. Regarding technological adequacy, reference is made to different aspects, from database architectures, through Database Management Systems - SGBD to operating systems, indicating in each of them the different possibilities with respective characteristics, so that the most ideal technological adoption of a system as geographically distinct, with numerous users, large volumes of information and with a high need for reliability and sharing, such as the LAP.
