  • © 2020 IEEE.Learning styles and environments cannot remain the same. Universities are working in designing and implementing strategies for taking advantage of young people's customs, as a way to encourage them to acquire all the knowledge and skills required to achieve necessary experience to develop in the professional field. Although traditional classrooms have offered many advantages for years, for some aspects, they have ceased to be functional; hence the need to incorporate methodologies that will allow to reach different types of students. This document describes the use of a methodology based on knowledge networks, which will guide the student while studying. This methodology has allowed students to review their courses, self-assess to know if they have acquired the competences or to detect which topic they should reinforce. The professor has the opportunity to put his knowledge and explanations available to the student, as well to monitor the progress of his students in specific parts of their particular knowledge. For the implementation of this methodology, a technological platform was built so that students have the support at the time they need it. The methodology implemented in the platform provides a safe environment that strengthens the student's initiative to continue learning.
