Gciffar: gerenciador de cronograma de aulas do IFFAR

Abstract

The organization of class schedules is an essential factor for the smooth running of educational institutions, especially in technical courses integrated with high school, where the workload is extensive and schedule changes are frequent. At the Uruguaiana Campus of the Federal Institute of Farroupilha, these changes are mostly communicated by institutional email, a method that is inefficient and contributes to misinformation, disorganization of the academic routine, and increased anxiety among students. Given this context, this Final Course Project aims to develop GCIFFar, a web-based system for managing and displaying the IFFar weekly class schedule, with support for real-time course substitution. The methodology adopted involves bibliographic research on school schedule organization, analysis of similar systems, requirements gathering, modeling through use cases, database development, and system implementation using web technologies such as HTML, CSS, PHP, and JavaScript. The proposed system allows for the management of classes, subjects, teachers, classrooms, and substitutions, in addition to offering different levels of access for students, teachers, and coordinators. As a result, it is expected that GCIFFar will contribute to improving institutional communication, increasing the transparency of academic information, and reducing the negative impacts caused by unexpected changes in the school schedule.
