In the academic results it was found that the variables female gender, scholarship and semester positively influence the increase of the average of qualifications. Likewise, the results of ICT that favor academic performance were the use of academic google, the blog, tools to create multimedia material (Mindomo, NaikuDeck, Camtasia) and the tool on identity management and digital security.
