Resumen

Today's museums, in addition to their traditional roles, are places to provide research, delight, and education. In order to bring them closer to citizens, various museums have opted for the creation of virtual spaces, but, these constructions have focused mainly on presenting the virtual tour, adding additional information on the cultural site such as text, video or images, however, learning requires deeper processes that involve the visitor, for this reason, the construction of digital educational material was carried out to support the learning of the cultural process of the museum collection. In this sense, a study on the present concept of museums and the relationship between virtual museums and education was conducted. In addition, the experimental context, in which the project was performed, is presented.The educational tool has been developed in accordance with the Methodology for Teaching Material Production in the era of ICT, which consists of the following stages: contextual stage, didactic-pedagogic stage, communicative stage, and technological stage. Furthermore, an evaluation on the pedagogical aspect of the educational tool and the website usability was carried out, obtaining positive results in both cases.
