ABSTRACT

Introduction: informational and communication technologies at High Educational Centers in Cuba allow a series of transformations, among them appear the creation of new models to pre and post graduated formation and in particular, continuous education of professionals with the aid of distance learning.
Objective: socialization of results of experiments in the delivery of the online course "Developing reusable learning objects for teaching purposes".
Material and Methods: the course was developed and assembled from February/2013 to July/2013 by The Virtual Health University in Cuba. Initial diagnosis was developed to assess prior knowledge in the subject matter of the enrolled students and the survey of attitudes toward thinking and learning. Statistical data were collected and analyzed regarding access to the course.
Development: the course covered three topics and the objectives lead to prepare teachers and other educational staff in creating reusable learning objects using eXeLearning tool. Also, some reflections are offered on the progress of learning, the relationship between personal components of the process, the main technological difficulties faced by course participants, among others, from a pedagogical perspective, not just technology, based on the pedagogical model promoted by UVS.
Conclusions: the results of the course allowed the increase in collections of reusable learning objects that meet quality standards such as SCORM and in open repositories.
