    Virtual worlds are considered an additional proposal within the e-learning model. Online platforms have not been enough resources to be successful in the teaching and learning processes, therefore, it is necessary to search more options that contribute to their improvement. Virtual worlds, through inverse and visual experiences for the student, offer new panoramas that allow living situations and solving problems in different areas, such as mathematics. This article analyzes the opinion of higher-level students regarding the use of virtual worlds in their distance classes. Likewise, the virtual worlds provide help in improving teacher-student and student-student relationships. Some cases of educational institutions that integrated the use of virtual worlds into their classes are shown. A Likert-type scale questionnaire has been applied to a sample of 65 higher-level students. Its reliability was validated by means of Cronbach's alpha coefficients and Pearson's. It was found that students consider that the use of virtual worlds would improve class work and relationships between their peers and their teachers. It is remarkably undoubted that virtual worlds within education path are considered an excellent tool for e-learning. However, although the interest on the part of students is high, it is necessary to carry out more researching and developing procedures on the virtual worlds as an alternative to support learning.

    Los sistemas de recomendación son útiles en el proceso de toma de decisiones ya que proporcionan al usuario un conjunto de opciones que se espera satisfagan sus expectativas. En este trabajo se presenta LEEme, un sistema de recomendación que, a través de la generación de sugerencias literarias adecuadas para cada usuario, intenta fomentar el hábito de la lectura en la población. Los resultados muestran que este tipo de sistemas es viable para este propósito
