Abstract

Introducing our innovation project with which we intend to build a virtual learning space complementary lasting university education. We try to approach the active methodologies Cooperative Learning and Problem-Based Aprendiaje as tools to convey scientific knowledge.Our proposal raises two fundamental axes to enhance learning: using ICT to process, share, create and manage knowledge between teachers and students. Besides proposing enrich student learning by implementing methodologies that promotes the acquisition of skills.During 2011-2012, the faculty who designed this project has been responsible for implementing, monitoring and evaluating the results, involving the students in different subjects and courses at the Faculty of Education. Students who, a priori not known, heterogeneous teams have worked on solving one real problem, using ICT as a vehicle, creating their own personal learning network, converting it into a key tool for learning and skills acquisition.We present some results collected through Focus Group, demonstrating how to improve university learning in content acquisition, the development of skills to work in virtual environments and the enhancement of metacognition.
