The article presents the theoretical principles of the didactic use of digital artifacts for the knowledge learning. The contribution is divided into four parts. In the first part, we provide some data to describe the magnitude and quality of the spread of digital technologies in our country. In the second part, we analyze the features of digital media. Among these features, we introduce the concept of agency. In the third part, we focus on socio-constructivist paradigm as model consistent with teaching-learning methods supported by digital technologies. Finally, we present two e-learning models able to support new procedures in the instructional design.
