Using a business process management system to model dynamic teaching methods

Abstract

Enterprise Information Systems are enjoying an extensive trajectory in the optimization of organizations worldwide, of which predominantly the Business Process Management (BPM) systems stand out for their great flexibility. BPM models describe business workflows and are highly useful in detecting errors and bottlenecks and in identifying possible improvements. On the other hand, educational management software tools offer a large number of functionalities, but have yet to take advantage of these techniques. Our main objective is to perform an empirical analysis in this unexplored area to evaluate the advantages of applying BPM in the implementation of innovative and dynamic teaching activities.Using this methodology, we have designed RubricaSoft, a BPM system focused on providing dynamic educational processes. It automates multiple tasks, including peer evaluation, information integration and the management of deadlines. The results have been very promising from the point of view of the three axes upon which the evaluation has been carried out: satisfaction of students, improvement in academic results and increase in the productivity of teachers. In one of the processes, the time spent by the teacher has been reduced by 80% and student participation increased by 41%.

Using Blockchain to Improve Collaborative Business Process Management: Systematic Literature Review

“…BlockChain Technology (BCT) has emerged as new technology and offers valued cost reductions by enabling transactions to be executed in a peer-to-peer manner directly between entities or individual users, without delegating trust to central official authorities nor requiring mutual trust between each couple of parties. These features have led to a rapid and growing attention on BCT within different contexts; for instance, BPM [73]. In fact, it is possible to see the interest of public bodies, scientific community and software industries to know the feasibility and opportunities that BCT offers to improve collaborative process management in a decentralized manner.…”

Introdução à Modelagem de Processos de Negócio em BPMN 2.0 e à Automação em BPMS

“…BPM vem sendo aplicado em diversos domínios de aplicação, incluindo educação, meio ambiente, saúde e entretenimento. Na educação, novos métodos vêm sendo propostos para o ensino de BPM [Sànchez-Ferreres et al 2020], tal como métodos de ensino mais dinâmicos [Enríquez et al 2019]. Em [Drȃgan et al 2014], os autores propõem um modelo de gerenciamento de processos de negócio, descrevendo a importância de entender os requisitos dos graduados, suas necessidades e expectativas.…”

“…Em [Vuksic and Bach 2012], os autores motivam a introdução de BPM como parte do currículo na educação ao nível universitário. Em [Enríquez et al 2019], os autores realizaram uma análise empírica para avaliar as vantagens da aplicação do BPM na implementação de atividades de ensino inovadoras e dinâmicas. Com base neste estudo, desenvolveram uma ferramenta chamada RubricaSoft, um sistema de BPM focado em fornecer processos educacionais dinâmicos.…”
