Creación de una escuela de formación continua para la industria de la moda ecuatoriana mediante una plataforma de e-learning

Abstract

Abstract: This thesis explores the feasibility of creating a virtual continuing education school for the Ecuadorian fashion industry using the Odoo e-learning platform. Through research, a lack of academic programs that meet the needs of the local industry is identified. Gaps in professional training are identified, with a lack of multidisciplinary approaches, digital skills, and business acumen. A qualitative approach is employed, using semi-structured interviews with industry professionals who currently teach, revealing the challenges they face based on their experiences in the workplace. Finally, a curriculum design for a beginner's Fashion Design course is proposed, based on the ADDIE methodology. This proposal is implemented on the Odoo platform due to its accessibility and user experience. It is concluded that virtual education is viable for teaching fashion design in Ecuador if it is based on curriculum planning, tools, and methodologies appropriate for the local industry.
