Situación Digital para Instituciones de Educación Superior: Modelo y Herramienta

Abstract

This paper presents the proposal of a model to measure the digital situation in higher education institutions. The model is composed of a conceptual component that defines its structure, a procedural component that determines its application in an institution and a software tool that articulates the previous components in order to facilitate its functioning. In addition, this article describes a case study developed in a Colombian university institution for evaluating the model considering its effectiveness, its weaknesses and its scope. Among the main results obtained, there is the validity of the model to identify the digital situation index for all the members of a university community, finding that the axiological and productive competences are the least valued. It is concluded that the institution must have technological management plans that determine the viability of the acquisition of technologies. Also, it must have appropriation strategies to reduce gaps and achieve better use of the investment.
