  Introduction 
  The teaching-learning process is interrelated with various types of activities in which the teacher plays a leading role, guiding students, evaluating the process, and assessing the results achieved by each student; Likewise, education has various specific goals that respond to the individual being educated, as well as to the social and cultural model. In this sense, learning management is defined as the set of activities and strategies to facilitate the achievement of goals, objectives, and purposes, with the support of educational technology to systematically design, implement, and evaluate teaching-learning processes, utilizing various means to ensure that education achieves its purpose. For this reason, it seeks to identify how the use of ICT influences the teaching-learning process.
  Methodology
  A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted among first-year undergraduate students. For data collection, the Technological Resources and Learning Strategies (RTEA) questionnaire was used, consisting of 61 items across 7 dimensions.
  Results and Discussion 
  The sample consisted of 125 first-year students in the nursing and community development for aging programs. The instrument showed a reliability coefficient of .943 (Cronbach’s alpha), indicating good internal consistency for a unidimensional scale. Differences were found in the proportion of students by program regarding learning strategies (χ² = 7.008, df = 2, p < 0.05); with regard to teaching strategies and ICTs, a statistically significant linear and inversely proportional association was found (rp = .295, p < 0.05). Technological resources have high potential to drive innovation but do not necessarily lead to improved educational practices.
  Conclusions 
  There is a significant relationship between teaching and learning strategies and the use of technologies, demonstrating the benefits of using ICTs in learning processes.
