Strengthening Continuing Health Education: Health Literacy through MOOC Courses

Abstract

The objective is to report the curation process carried out in MOOC courses, available through the Lumina education for all platform - University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), aimed at health, education, social assistance, security and guardianship council professionals, as care must permeate multiprofessional areas. This is a documentary research that sought to obtain scientifically validated materials through a review of the literature and the media, in the period between June and July 2022. The curatorship, paid attention primarily to the social context, in particular to the troubled Covid-19 pandemic, inextricably intertwined with the unbridled dissemination of information, called infodemics. Still, to support the discussions, it is proposed to expose the individual construction process of each course. The curatorship of MOOC courses generated a broad discussion regarding LS, which allowed a thematic scope for health professionals.
