Abstract

Introduction: historical sites and monuments are a tribute to those who marked out the course of history, thus these places must be studied by Medical Science students as part of their training.
Objective: to create an educational multimedia about the sites and monuments of Santiago de Cuba for students of the medical sciences.
Method: a technological development research was carried out from February to May 2017, at Santiago de Cuba University of Medical Sciences. The product was made in the Matchware Mediator version 9.0. The target group comprised 430 medical students from the third academic-year.
Results: the multimedia has a module of introduction that includes historical reviews, historical sites, sites of interest and videos. Before applying the educational multimedia only 25 % of the respondents showed high level of knowledge on the subject; after applying the product, it increased up to 88 %; 100 % of respondents expressed satisfaction with the multimedia.
Conclusions: the applied multimedia constitutes an important tool in the teaching-learning process for teaching the History of Cuba, since it provides professors a complementary tool and provides updated information on the most important historical sites and monuments of Santiago de Cuba.
