The paper discusses the theoretical and methodological basis of elaboration of teaching materials for an undergraduate discipline of Basic Physics in a virtual learning environment (VLE), as well as its integration as a support tool for presencial learning. The Physics field has a huge network of digital resources for use in the teaching-learning process. Such possibilities are based on research and experience reports which have demonstrated improvements in learning outcomes and potentialities in the approach of concepts and themes of this knowledge area. It is therefore proposed the integration of our vision to the already launched resources available in the network in order to think about them from the perspective of instructional design, which assists in the structuring of contents by suggesting the most appropriate manner for their presentation and in union with learning activities designed and implemented through the VLE tools. The results show that from the point of view of students, the VLE developed meets the intended goals because it complements the discussions in class, diversifies the curricular contents and takes into consideration different learning styles
