Abstract
The technological advances taking place in recent times have led us to consider the use of computers in classrooms as an indispensable tool. This paper details the experience of last year related to the use of different forms of interaction among students and new technological tools. The proposed learning system allows university students to go into computers and specific software in depth get. The use of new tools could enhance the teaching-learning process and adapt it to the new situation of Spanish university system. We have used both, an online platform and specifically designed programs to solve mathematical problems and learn Mathematics.
