It aims to help the strengthening of thosecompetencies associated with Information Technology and Communication (ICT). The use ofRefComTIC contemplates the development on students of the transversal competences associated tothe professional profile of the undergraduate at our University. It also eases the management of newICT related curricular changes, policy and activities of the University. At the level of curricular changessupport is given to the management and updating of contents associated with transversalcompetences and ICT educational activities for teachers, given the ease an automated system allowsfor the modification of its content. At the level of university policies and concerning transversalcompetences, the manual assists in the process of remembering, including and keeping professorsupdated on this area. These features correlate with sustainable digital inclusion (SDI), the generalmodel that supports the development strategy and usability of the manual, as professors requiresupport in strengthening their ICT competences associated with their subjects, while also learning howICT mediated activities contribute to this matter covered by the program of their subject. At the level ofICT didactical activities, it allows orientating the use of resources to strengthen both the pedagogicalstrategies and the development and strengthening of ICT competences of the teacher itself, and inturn the collaboration among them. In addition to the outlined above, the capacity of the interactivemanual to contribute to social knowledge management by influencing the axis of curricular innovationand mediate with the strengthening of the other competences of the professional profile, one of whichis social responsibility, is highlighted. In this regard we advance to meet the challenge of raisingawareness of ethical and moral values that should guide users of digital technologies. It is shown thatthe use of ICT skills in a digital environment that facilitates the reinforcement of a minimum oftransferable skills, to strength transversal competences, is feasible. Drupal has been selected as thedevelopment environment, allowing the generation of automated systems by including metadata inevery part of the process, allowing the finding of meaningful relationships in content and applications.This digital tool also is open source, which helps with the development and improvement by thecontributions of the open source community, and finally, facilitates its use by not requiring theacquisition of licenses by teacher users. As a technological solution, it could be an ideal tool for theconstruction of digital content, lecture notes, exercise guides among others
