This tool is implemented under the pedagogical and methodological guidelines of the socio formative competencies approach. In this paper, the results of an experience with a course of Formal Logic Programming of the Systems Engineering and Computer Science Program of the University of Quindío are presented. A tool was used to do a competence test with the goal of getting to know the students´ appreciations regarding the tool´s friendly usability.
