This article reports a bibliographical research whose objective develops a reflection about training autonomous students in an environment full of information and audiovisual appeal. Three priorities were the focus of our discussion: opening new horizons and issues on information and communication technologies in which the main point is the horizontal communication and the possibility of intelligent networking; the resignification of learning how to study as a way of adequate cognitive emancipation; and the central point of attention learning since attention is not only a "condition to learn", but it can be understood as "effect" of learning. These priorities converge to self-knowledge.
