In this work we developed a hyper document built around free software in order tosupport the   teaching   and learning concepts    of electromagnetism. The    research    involved the development, production and validation of a hyperdocument containing interactive simulations produced with the software Easy Java Simulations, based on the conceptions of learning of David Ausubel. We also consider the fundamental  principlesthat characterize hypermedia as a  language that  allows non-linear  access to  information  and present this to the use of graphics, sound, animation and interactive computer, and its implications   for teaching   practices. We   find evidence   that diversity   of media elements helped students in understanding the concepts and  interpretation of phenomena. We note that the hyper document structured into conceptions of learning has helped  them  develop Ausubel subsumers to   support   learning, these   students  become active participants in information acquisition and construction of new knowledge.
