Resumen

This paper describes the multidisciplinary design, development, and refinement of the SENATI-DevKit, a Windows and Android app developed to assist users with the academic management of the Luis Cáceres Graziani Professional Training Center (CFP) of SENATI in Peru. Such management has in the past posed problems for instructors in the timely planning of instructional sessions, adherence to schedules, and provision of constructive feedback. The application for which this paper was written was designed as part of a .NET MAUI class and features a compliance assistant for instructors and a visual learning map for students. Usability testing (System Usability Scale) and heuristic evaluation, as well as reverse perception surveys and interviews with six instructors and twenty students, were used in a one-week pilot study. The results indicate a remarkable efficacy of each SENATI instructional design, with an average SUS score of 82.5 LE in the “Excellent” category, and 100% of instructors affirming their class as a “class of the future” as well as students reporting 95% clearer learning. As a socio-technical system, SENATI-DevKit strongly polarizes instructor experience with workflow and student learning, while strengthening instructor-optimized workflows. Subsequent efforts will involve indeterminate expansions, as well as focused pivots to instructional system design and seamless integration into academic workflows.
