RESUMO:

Assistive technology (AT) is one of the key factors to promote the inclusion of students with disabilities in education. For this to happen, education professionals need to know AT and its application in the educational context, which is not the case in most institutions, as there is a gap in the training of these professionals in the AT area. Thus, this research proposes to investigate how a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) can favor learning in assistive technology in the educational context, by offering a free course, certified by an educational institution. Therefore, an applied research was conducted, which involved exploratory study, literature review (both narrative and systematic), with a quali-quantitative approach and inductive method. The study began with a systematic review about MOOCs to offer AT training in the educational context and a narrative literature review about the themes that intertwine in this study – education of people with disabilities, AT, MOOCs and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Based on the research, a pilot edition of the MOOC was developed and implemented, offered to a pre-defined audience, aiming to evaluate the course through the perception of the participants and indicators of their participation. Based on the results obtained from the analysis of the pilot data, a final edition was implemented, in which UDL guidelines were incorporated, aiming to improve the learning experience and meet the needs of the largest possible number of participants, including those with disabilities. The final edition was launched, open to all, along with the IFRS MOOCs portfolio, and evaluated over a six-month cycle. The results demonstrate that the general objective of this research was achieved, that is, to propose a way for education professionals to have a possibility of AT training which is open, free of charge and meets their learning needs.
