In today's university environment, most students are digital natives. Therefore, it is difficult to imagine their academic life without relating it to the various cloud tools for communication and collaborative work. In this context, university professors work in new scenarios of communication and collaborative work in the classroom. This represents a transformation in the teaching-learning process assisted by new ICTs s in the cloud. Working in the cloud offers the opportunity to transmit new knowledge when using pedagogical strategies supported by computer technologies. With the combination of ICTs and modern teaching-learning processes, the concept of Learning and Knowledge Technologies (TAC) is valuable. This work exposes the academic experience of researching and developing Cloud Computing using an OpenStack configuration so that students can empower themselves with the knowledge and use of cloud technologies. Thus, to be able to teach concepts and practices on IT Infrastructure including activities such as: design, configuration, implementation and administration of a private cloud for academic uses.Instituto de Investigación en InformáticaInstituto de Investigación en Informática
