This article describes a designed model for an educative software based on competences, which presents a vision of developing these applications by combining teaching, learning, pedagogic, didactic and multimedia and software engineering components. The suggested model consists of five phases that describes step by step the process to be taken into account for the creation of an educative software. The initial phase, is the description of an educative design, which analyzes the educational needs, here are presented the learning objectives and outlines the competences that seek to develop the application. The design of these sub-phases are the following: content design, pedagogic design and learning design. The competences are the key point that involve the development of this model, which are essential for carrying out the steps to follow up the computational design and multimedia design, these are essential for the analysis and modeling software, and for the system man-machine communication. In the production stage the produced components are assembled or collected, according to the case. The last stage of the model is the implementation stage, where testings are done too rigorously assessing the performance of the software, in the contexts for which it was designed.
