Abstract:

UNA-SUS Amazônia Project aims to minimize issues of internet access to enable training and share information for health professionals, through open education, an emerging education movement that combines the sharing of ideas, teaching and learning, such as books, plans classroom, software, games, reviews, videos, audios, images and other digital resources understood as educational assets with fellow educators along with Internet culture.

The UNA-SUS Standard Package (PPU – Pacote Padrão UNA-SUS) consists in a complex educational resource, for offline access, use and distribution. The methodology adopted by the educational resource makers turns its implementation complex, once they uses videos, images, pdf documents with high quality and sizes, making it difficult to disseminate information through municipalities of Amazon with low or without connectivity.

A comparative study about the PPU was made to quantify the optimization, restructuring, reach of stability, definition of processes and generation of builds using IT tools highly efficient in the development of front-end systems.

During this study, we observed low code reuse on implementation of PPU´s, snippet common code repetition all over the HTML5 PPU´s code that could be optimized with the use of some templating’s. The remodeling of the content was done using json files, thus removing contents inserted directly in the HTML code, the flows were carried out by route control tools, allowing the reuse of codes and optimizing the process. The JPEG format was adopted for images its, besides the improvement of the images and videos, reducing file size without losing the quality. Minified code has been done to compress the javascript and css scripts, reducing variable names, methods, and removing white space, among others.

After the reconstruction of three complex educational resources using the “PPU format", it was observed that improvements in the codification, stability and versioning has a potential advance on offline training, teleducation and could be possible to share information even with low connectivity like in the Amazon reality.
