Resumen: In order to improve the students’ motivation and their learning process a new student-centered methodology was introduced in a subject of Computer Science Engineering. It proposes a set of activities based on the combination of different autonomous and active learning techniques. From the methodology perspective, it is to provide them a continuous feedback about the obtained results and to consider the students’ learning style to select the activities. To achieve these goals, we have combined questionnaires for identifying learning styles, conceptual maps for representing the acquired knowledge during the fulfilment of activities, and semantic technologies for the automatic assessment of this learning. Besides, a Web and service-oriented tool, called M eRoDes, has been developed to support the proposed activities and to implement the evaluation system based on conceptual maps. The experience carried out proved that the desired improvements have been achieved.
