The development of online tools has provided solutions to different activities, including academia. The Agronomy program at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia has updated its competency-based teaching approaches by encouraging the development and application of computational tools for analysis, modeling, and interpretation of data. A registration and follow-up system was chosen to automate tasks in the course “Cycle 2: Execution of production project” developed at the university farm (Marengo Agricultural Center), where technical, financial, and administrative variables inherent to the selected crop must be managed with monitoring and support by teachers and monitors. The aim of this research was to develop a web application for the academic-administrative management of certain components. This was mainly developed with Python and a PostgreSQL database. As an open resource, the app was hosted on GitHub and, for user access, it was hosted on PythonAnywhere. The Alpha version was validated by several students and academic staff involved in the course. The development of a web application consisting of three administrative modules was achieved and included an inventory management of supplies, machinery, and available tools; the allocation and management of the schedule of activities and list of requests, and the tracking of resource use through project costs. The web application is simple to execute, and its use will adjust the relevant processes of the productive projects of Cycle 2.

El desarrollo de herramientas en línea ha brindado soluciones a diferentes actividades, incluida la academia. La carrera de Agronomía de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia ha actualizado sus enfoques de enseñanza basados en competencias fomentando el desarrollo y la aplicación de herramientas computacionales para análisis, modelado e interpretación de datos. Se optó por un sistema de registro y seguimiento para la automatización de tareas en el curso “Ciclo 2: Ejecución de proyecto productivo” desarrollado en la granja universitaria (Centro Agropecuario Marengo), donde se abordaron variables técnicas, financieras y administrativas inherentes al cultivo seleccionado con el seguimiento y apoyo por parte de docentes y monitores. El objetivo fue desarrollar una aplicación web  para la gestión académico-administrativa de determinados componentes. Fue desarrollada principalmente con Python y una base de datos PostgreSQL. Como recurso abierto, la aplicación se alojó en GitHub y, para el acceso de los usuarios, se alojó en PythonAnywhere. La versión Alpha fue validada por varios estudiantes y personal académico involucrado en el curso. Se logró el desarrollo de una aplicación web que consta de tres módulos administrativos e incluyó un manejo de inventario de insumos, maquinaria y herramientas disponibles; la consignación y gestión del cronograma de actividades y lista de solicitudes, y el seguimiento del uso de recursos a través de los costos del proyecto. La aplicación web es sencilla de ejecutar y su uso ajustará los procesos  pertinentes de los proyectos productivos de Ciclo 2.
