[EN] This article deals with an educational innovation project around the application of learner-centred methodologies and strategies:gamification and flipped classroom. It was aimed at fostering active learning and motivation among students from the Tourism and International Business Degrees at the Universitat de València. To achieve these goals, students were encouraged to become active protagonists of their own learning processes by means of the exploration of different themes related to their degree. This was done from a socio-constructive and learner-centred perspective through the completion of different tasks around the collaborative creation of digital stories: a WebQuest; a video in the form of a digital story; a self-corrected and collectively-written script; peer-assessment and self-assessment; and oral presentations delivery. The data analysis made it possible to determine the effectiveness of such methodologies and strategies. The results obtained were positive in terms of the students' level of motivation and engagement. Moreover, the goals were achieved, as students’ linguistic, communicative and digital competences were enhanced, as well as their creativity and teamworking skills.
