    The technological boom, the updating and the use of digital tools has caused education to undergo changes to face new educational needs, granting and giving prominence to virtuality as a means of autonomous, disciplined and efficient learning. In that order of ideas, this research aims to implement an Escape Room as a strategy to strengthen digital skills in undergraduate students. The online game, designed in the form of a virtual ‘Escape Room’ with various rooms, poses a series of associated challenges to young people for the development and validation of digital skills necessary for the training process they will face. The strategy is based on the action research methodology: planning, observation, action and reflection. The Escape Room integrates the dynamics, elements and mechanics of the game, with the purpose of increasing motivation in learning digital tools in University Education. In the process of evaluating the intervention, an intervention will be applied to 800 students from first to third cycle of a private university. The findings obtained have shown an impact on motivational change through a proactive attitude in learning, the use of digital tools and the creation of virtual content.

    This study aims to evaluate the impact of a didactic strategy that incorporates generative artificial intelligence (AI) into music education, supporting oral language development in preschool children and promoting inclusive and sustainable early childhood learning. Using an action-research approach, a mixed-methods design was applied to assess the performance of 15 children aged 3 to 6 years, divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in AI-supported activities using tools such as Genially, Educaplay, and Wordwall, whereas the control group employed traditional methods. Quantitative data from pre-and post-tests, as well as qualitative observations, revealed that AI-enhanced sessions improved motivation, pronunciation, and engagement, particularly among children aged 5 and 6 years old. Although statistical tests showed no significant differences between groups, the intervention demonstrated pedagogical effectiveness by increasing interest and participation. The novelty of this work lies in applying generative AI in early music education to personalize learning and reduce inequality, aligning with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 3, 4, 9, and 10). The findings offer valuable insights into designing inclusive educational experiences through the integration of ICT and AI, highlighting the need to enhance teacher training in emerging digital pedagogies and promote accessible music-based learning in diverse educational settings.
