The paper deals with the evaluation of digital teaching materials which are created and available open access to all teachers. The materials are designed in various formats, from static presentations to interactive ones exploiting latest teaching applications and running on latest ICT devices. Their contribution to the teaching process was evaluated by pre-service teachers (N = 35), students of the Faculty of Education, University of Jan Evangelista Purkyne, Usti nad Labem, Czech Republic. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were applied. First, six criteria were defined focusing on the didactic contribution of the digital teaching materials. Second, students analyzed and considered the materials, and provided their written feedback. Finally, the results were orally discussed in groups and didactic recommendations were defined.
