Abstract:

Currently there is a clear commitment to promoting the entrepreneurial culture in university students by programs and projects developed in the classroom. The promotion of entrepreneurship has the support of the Andalusian Government with the Business Promotion Plan and Law 14/2013, to support entrepreneurs and from the University of Jaén, proposals and measures have been made included in the Practical Training Plan for Employability.

These plans are intended to motivate and train future entrepreneurs, giving them specific knowledge on business matters and promoting, in a practical way, the development of skills for entrepreneurship, such as initiative, creativity, responsibility, decision-making or collaborative work.

For years, a positive and solid correlation has been observed between fostering entrepreneurship and economic performance in terms of growth, innovation, job creation, technological change, and increased productivity.

Given the positive results of these initiatives, there are more and more digital tools and resources that can be found related to entrepreneurship. Managing these resources is a complex task, so personal learning environments (PLE) and content curation are presented as allies for the design of training around these competencies.

For all these reasons, this paper analyses the digital tools and resources available on the web related to entrepreneurship. For this, social networks will be used to organize the search and analysis of entrepreneurship tools and the results will be integrated into Personal Learning Environments (PLE).

This research was funded by Vice-Rector’s Office for Knowledge Transfer, Employability and Entrepreneurship of the University of Jaén by the project “Management of digital tools aimed at promoting entrepreneurship” University of Jaén
