OBJECTIVE: To describe the process of constructing virtual learning objects of physical examination in nursing. METHODS: The study involved developing a product and research included four phases: planning, theoretical model development and evaluation of virtual objects by 19 experts and 38 students. RESULTS: We stress the importance of steps to build virtual objects. In this overall assessment, for the average ranking of the 31 variables studied, 18 achieved scores between 4-5, 11 had scores between 3 - 3.9, and 2 had scores between 2 - 2.9. CONCLUSION: An innovation for consolidating the use of integrated computer technology into undergraduate nursing education must support the teaching and learning of physical examination in nursing, optimizing intra-and extracurricular activities and maximizing learning outcomes.
