OBJECTIVE: To describe the development and validation of an educational hypermedia for undergraduates and nurses about the technique of physical examination in the prenatal period. METHODS: A development study, conducted between June and October 2010, following these steps: developing content, production of media, organization of student-tutor space, design, delivery and validation of hypermedia. RESULTS: We developed hypertext, hyperlinks, audiovisual materials, communication spaces, assessments and support materials. The seven experts in nursing considered the consistency of the hypermedia for nursing practice and to facilitate the teaching-learning process to be fully adequate. Of the three informatics specialists, two considered the hypermedia to have fully adequate functionality. CONCLUSION: We constructed an educational hypermedia, validated by experts, using a variety of media resources that made it possible to optimize the teaching and learning process.
