The Higher Education raises several fundamental challenges such as the need for a new paradigm in the distribution and access to knowledge, promote an approchement between the academic and the professional education, and boost the social innovation that is spontaneously produced in society.

In this context, the new learning environments are based on the use of ICT, which facilitate and promote communication among active users while designing an ordered set of learning objects. In this line, a team of teachers of the Department of Urban and spatial Planning of the University of Granada, through its Educational Innovation Program has developed a new virtual learning environment oriented to disciplines of a technical-projectual nature with the aim of promoting a creative and innovative attitude in the student body.

The web platform doyoucity.com has been designed as a virtual learning environment with learning objects and social dynamics characterized by being open, collaborative and interactive, aimed at those interested in participating in the analysis, elaboration, and critique of innovative proposals in the physical environment, at the architectural, urban and territorial scales, with a strong presence of the graphic component. With the development of web 2.0 technologies and the release of free and open access content, there is an opportunity to rethink the roles of teachers and students in the teaching-learning processes through virtual environments.
