Abstract

Objective: to build and validate an online course for nurses on advanced life support in adult cardiorespiratory arrest. Methods: methodological research, technological production, based on Contextualized Instructional Design, following the phases of analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation, guided by the assumptions of Andragogy and Theory of Significant Learning. Results: course structured in nine learning units, including digital games, virtual simulations and clinical cases. It was made available in the Moodie (R) virtual environment and evaluated by 16 specialist nurses, obtaining high and good quality indexes in 15 (75.0%) criteria regarding content, interactivity, navigation, ergonomics and aesthetics. Conclusion: the positive evaluation of specialists accredits the online course on advanced life support in adult cardiorespiratory arrest as a valid resource capable of integrating innovative educational technologies and strategies to nurses for care in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
