The paper deals with the evaluation of digital teaching materials (DTMs) which are created and available open access to all teachers from a website funded by the Czech Ministry of Education and EU projects. The uploaded materials are designed in various formats, from static presentations to interactive ones exploiting latest teaching applications and running on modern ICT devices. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were applied to the evaluation of the DTMs. First, several criteria were defined focusing on the employment of the main principles of constructivism and second, the materials were analyzed according to their potential implementation in an EFL classroom with respect to their impact on the development of linguistic and communicative skills.
