The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of the use of technological tools in university classrooms. In particular, we analyze and evaluate the application of two free audience-response tools (specifically, Socrative and Kahoot!) as tools that foster students’ participation in and attendance to the theoretical sessions and facilitate the teaching-learning process. It is analyzed whether these tools can be used to motivate and foster participation and to facilitate learning. Furthermore, students’ opinion on the usefulness of these tools in the classroom and as teaching-learning methods is also analyzed. The study sample is made up of 60 students at a Spanish public university in the Publicity and Public Relations and Audiovisual Communication programs. This research is innovative in the area of ICT and has implication for university teachers due to the relevance of the use of new technologies in the classroom with the aim of attracting students’ participation and attendance while at the same time motivating them to study and learn
