Abstract:

The use of websites in higher education has increased significantly. Universities have developed several websites that meet both academic and administrative functions. We believe that academic portals providing resources that support teachers and students in specific curricular activities enhance learning and teaching. Within the psychology study program, one of these activities is the supervised practice where teachers advise students in activities that they will perform in their future professional practice.

In this paper, we present and describe an academic portal aimed at teachers and students who participate in the activity supervised practice in the educational area of the psychology degree at the Faculty of Higher Studies Zaragoza, in the National Autonomous University of Mexico. First, we specify the features that an academic portal should have for supervised practice. Second, we describe each one of the steps followed in its design and elaboration. Third, we describe different parts of the academic portal. Finally, we share some considerations about its implementation.
