Abstract

The unstoppable technological progress that shakes our society has reached the academic classrooms and, with it, the development of new teaching methods. The advance of ICTs has modified the way of elaborating, acquiring and transmitting knowledge, promoting the use of innovative tools for learning. Within the wide range of new educational possibilities offered by these tools, open access didactic materials in digital format acquire vital importance as a source of information and as the axis for the development of new pedagogical methods.

In this sense, the purpose of this paper is to present a model of integration of DDM (Digital Didactic Materials), highlighting the possible didactic uses offered by these resources, and to promote their design as a dynamic strategy for autonomous work, motivation and improvement of students’ academic performance.
