Abstract

The interactive CD of psychology of learning is an educative programme designed as a support material for the students of this subject. Built in html format, it pretends to take closer to the students the contents of this discipline, which has demostrated to be quite difficult to learn. For this reason, the programme structurates the contents using some didactic resources caracteristical in multimedia materials, as the use of hypertext, interactivity, a user-friendly interface and the integration of the themes whith support material in different formats, (text, pictures, videos, etc.). This arcticle makes a description of the CD contents in order to explain and analyse its posibilities, taking as a reference the key concepts about the didactic potentialities of multimedia material, which introduction has overpassed the most optimistic expectatives posed about ten years ago.
