• Nowadays, university students have grown up surrounded by Web 2.0 technologies, which they are able to use with ease. Thesetechnologies provide an opportunity to improve the learning/teaching process through collaboration, the exchange of knowledgeand above all, the motivation created by the use of these technologies that are generally utilised by students in their day-to-daysocial life.The integration of Web 2.0 technologies into the learning/teaching process must be addressed in a critical way, taking intoaccount the objectives to be achieved and the type of teaching to be undertaken. Teachers can find a wide range of available Web2.0 technologies and it is often difficult for them to decide which type is the best one for their needs. This paper proposes amethodology based on software engineering methods and designed for software selection that provides recommendations toevaluate the function and options of Web 2.0 technologies according to the specific needs and characteristics of the subject to betaught and the types of students involved in higher education.The methodology consists of a formal guide to aid teachers when they need to select and put Web 2.0 technologies into practicein a learning/teaching process. In order to offer a practical demonstration of the application of this methodology, the experiences ofvarious teachers in engineering degrees are described.
