Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze how the integration of digital tools such as Tinkercad and Zoom in particular impacts student learning in a virtual environment. This research uses a quantitative methodology, with a 12-question survey to collect data before and after the 3D design course in engineering, with a representative sample that allows optimizing the generalization of experiences. Statistical tests, both descriptive and inferential, were carried out to determine the relationship between the use of these platforms and academic results. The results show a notable improvement in student learning: this increases the understanding of complex concepts by 75% and increases active participation in virtual sessions by 40%. These results suggest that the combination of Tinkercad and Zoom not only tends to improve interaction, as well as student intervention in general, but also helps the content to be better received by them. The conclusions highlight the need to update the educational curriculum, having become common in higher education to increase the effectiveness of teaching-learning processes. © 2025 Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions.
