Resumen
In Latin America most of the class time is consumed by administrative tasks performed by
teachers, including the conference of students attendance. Classrooms are energetically transformed
by technology, through which it is possible to apply knowledge about space and its
members and improve their experience. From this perspective, characterized by smart cities and
campuses, came the smart classroom derivation. Building a smart classroom can help reduce
the time spent doing such a task, as well as improve the environment through sensor monitoring.
Building a smart classroom in isolation limits its benefits, but integrating it with existing
educational software enriches them and can automate processes. Thus, the present work proposes
the integration of a smart classroom to the academic system of the Federal University of
Santa Maria - UFSM, in order to reduce the time spent by the teacher for the conference of
the students attendance. In order to achieve the objectives, searches were made with the literature
of technologies involved in the integration of legacy systems to this new computational
architecture. Secondly, the operating processes, scope delimitation, selection of the hardware
and software necessary for the creation of the smart classroom and the development of the integration
tool called SIoT were defined. . Finally, the implementation of the prototype in the
classroom, which was validated with four undergraduate classes of the Information Systems and
Computer Science courses. It was observed a reduction of up to 92,19% of the time spent for the
conference of students attendance, compared to the methods currently used by the institution.
In addition, the work was successful in creating and integrating with the academic system of
the institution, and may eventually be an integral part of it permanently. The dissertation is inserted
in the research line Educational Software Development, linked to the Graduate Program
in Educational Networked Technologies, and resulted the text presented here, together with the
integration module between smart classroom and the academic system of the institution.
