Abstract
The aim of this study was to present an academic event in the online version and evaluate the user’s profile who have signed up and the different digital media used by them. The Dentistry School of State University of Rio de Janeiro performed its first Online Academic Journey, available for free on your Moodle platform for participants who have registered, with five different courses: Computerised Tomography, Endodontic, Aesthetic, Implantology and Periodontology. In order to receive course certificates participants had to complete an evaluation form. The results (quantitative and qualitative) were obtained using data from Facebook, Youtube, Moodle platform and Google forms showed that: most of the participants were from the Southeast region of Brazil (80.6%), 69% of users were female aged between 18 to 35 years, professional dentist activity (70.1%) with graduation academic level (89.4%), 80% of respondents expressed satisfaction with the courses and the device most used by users to watch the courses was the computer (70%) followed by smartphone (21%). We conclude that the methodology used was an innovative experience and provided quality information to different profiles in different regions. The use of different media and technological tools for conducting an online academic journey provides very important resource in disseminating quality academic content, not only for users of the institution that performs as well as geographically distant places.
