Next in this document is presented how this project was developed and its implications, the objective of this project is to allow the students to have basic knowledge about the usage of four algorithms (heuristics and metaheuristics), which are: Ant colony, Depth first search, Kruskal’s algorithm and Taboo search; this would help in the industrial engineering students’ education, allowing them to understand basics about these tools that can help them solve different problems in their professional exercise, this is done through the development of a virtual learning object (VLO), so it could be accessible from the internet for a high number of students.
