The aim of this paper is to present public ecourse and advantages of using digital tools (techniques) for visualization and interactive approach in mathematics education at undergraduate university level.This material consists e-lessons of the Differential Calculus created within software package GeoGebra and following topics are included: functions of a real variable, arrays, limit function, continuity of functions, derivatives, applications of derivatives and interrelationships between theory and its applications in sciences.Integral parts of each elesson are dynamic geometric constructions made by GeoGebra applets, very strong theoretical background and traditional calculus tools.The aims of created didactic e-material are to encourage students to make connections between visual and symbolic representations of the same mathematical notions and to let them explore links between parameters, graphs and their application in tasks, sciences and everyday life.Designed teaching and learning material, e-Differential Calculus, meets and fosters individual learning styles, interest and capabilities, which make it suitable and for inclusive and lifelong learning.Left to be discovered is how are the imagery, interactivity, motivational and selfregulated learning components related to student performance on academic tasks and cognitive issues.
