abstract = "This paper discusses the design of two educational proposals centered on Project-Based Learning (PBL) and the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Both courses are focused on the spatial representation of 3D models in architectural training. The object of study focuses on comparing the students' competence and motivation in two different educational scenarios: A low-density experience where 3-4 software applications are used and a high density {"}crash course{"} using about 15 different applications and techniques. For the analysis of the results of this phase, a quantitative approach was designed to compare both groups and review the students' motivation and precourse competence. The results obtained show that the two groups had similar technological profiles that supports the realization of both proposals and comparison of results. However, assessing the different degrees of initial motivation between the two groups, entails that, in the final examination of the proposal, the results must be cross-checked.",
