Abstract

Background: local history as an essential component for students to deepen their knowledge about the territory and the increase of their motivation is achieved as result of teachers' knowledge and creativity, who can take advantage of ICT tools for designing new and attractive teaching media.
Objective: to design a hypermedia with life stories of internationalists from Sagua linked to medical sciences and of combatants who died or survived in the fulfillment of their missions.
Methods: from 2016 to 2018 at the Faculty of Medical Sciences in Sagua la Grande, a developmental research with a qualitative approach, was carried out. Theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis method, induction-deduction method, systemic structural method and historical-logical method; empirical methods: documentary analysis method, survey questionnaire to students and interview with teachers.
Results: it was evident that the contents related to the internationalists are not very often approached in the local history, and the bibliography on this theme is insufficient so the hypermedia "Internationalists forever" was created where life stories of some internationalist martyrs and of medical and non-medical internationalists from Sagua la Grande, Villa Clara, are highlighted.
Conclusions: specialists reached the consensus that the product is relevant, with a scientific-pedagogical character and functionality, and according to the program objectives with respect to local history.
