Abstract: This work reports a didactical implementation addressing the development of students' competences on DC circuits. Teacher' approach focus on the use of simultaneous teaching/learning/assessment resources and methods in order to improve students' abilities of adapting and dealing with available tools to solve real practical problems. The impact this didactical implementation was measure in terms of students' perception, usage and learning results. The results indicate that students clearly benefit from the use of virtual resources, in developing their skills, including the associated calculus, although the majority of students do not immediately understand it. This design represents a long-term vision, and, with some adjustments, some identified in this work, this course may become more effective in improving students' learning.
