The methodology used a qualitative-quantitative approach and a descriptive, exploratory scope under a hypothesis testing design. At the beginning of the study, a questionnaire and a pre-test were applied to them, showing demotivation and low learning levels; after 8 weeks of applying the proposed technological strategy designed with the ADDIE methodology. As for the conclusions, it can be highlighted that the implementation of the technological strategy allowed observing a significant improvement in the learning levels, which was reflected in the scores achieved by the students in the post-test.
