Background: the new pedagogical trends demand that the teachers deal with the contents through a productive learning, and not through rote learning. This, together with the use of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) facilitates the acquisition of knowledge. Methods: a development research was conducted in order to design an interdisciplinary educational software for the improvement of the teaching-learning process of the subject Morphophysiology through a system of teaching assignments in 3rd year Nursing Degree students from the Medical University of Villa Clara. Theoretical, empirical, mathematical and statistical methods were used. Results: by means of the instruments used, the needs were determined and the deficiencies that need to be solved in the students' learning were established. An educational software that serves as a tool to provide effective learning and continuous self-assessment was design. Conclusions: the expert judgment was positive, acknowledging that the software has a methodological and didactic approach useful for strengthening the theoretical and practical learning of the discipline; therefore, it was approved for implementation.
