Resumen

A proposal to use the well-known Project-based Learning method together with modern digital tools to improve the learning outcomes of computer science students, considering the COVID-19 pandemic context, is summarized here. The Kruchten's '4+1' model of IEEE 1471-2000 standard was used to describe the architecture of the software systems that were developed by the students. The methodology is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design, the population is made up of two groups from the Information Systems Design course, one was the experimental group and the other the control group. The results show a significant improvement in the learning outcomes of the students of the experimental group, in procedural and conceptual dimensions, in relation to the control group.
