Abstract

The research consists in the study of the problem arises from the improper use of software, which triggers an excessive investment in tools that do not represent an academic benefit for an institution of higher education. This work proposes the development of an adaptive system which captures the data generated from the execution of any computer application in the laboratories. At the same time, the modules send the data to a server hosted in the cloud where the activities are stored in offline files. On the other hand, the monitoring system tabulates these data and presents them through reports following the XP methodology to facilitate their maintenance. The implementation of the monitoring system made it possible to determine the use of the applications executed in a given time, for the proper control of academic systems.
