This proliferation of information has been used in various sectors such as distance education. Although any material can be used as a resource in a teaching and learning process, not all materials respond adequately to the challenges imposed by this modality. This research aims to identify good practices for the production of quality digital educational resources in distance education.

From this experience, good practices are identified for the production of digital educational resources. The proposal has been organized from the points of view of content, pedagogical and technological quality; and taking into account the provisions of the Distance Education Model of Cuban Higher Education.
