Resumen

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the education system in Peru was severely affected. The need to adopt digital education has become critical. However, most Peruvian schools have struggled to adapt due to a lack of access to educational platforms and appropriate content. To solve this problem, it is necessary to find a solution that allows the delivery of curricular content despite having limited internet connectivity. A digital education platform is proposed to enhance the quality of education in Peru, allowing students to access curriculum content and teachers to create interactive courses to further motivate their students. The platform will also include a peer-to-peer communication system. This will allow content to be shared with other users within the same network. In areas with limited internet connectivity, this will maximize access to digital education. The solution has been tested in a public school in a rural region with poorer internet access. This solution is expected to be implemented throughout the country in all Peruvian schools to improve the quality of education in the country.
