Introduction: the use of Information and Communication Technologies in the health system contributes to improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the sector.
Objective: to develop a web application for teaching the discipline Education at Work in the subject Community Hygiene within the Hygiene and Epidemiology program.
Methods: applied, descriptive, and technological innovation research with a general dialectical-materialist methodological approach. Theoretical methods (historical-logical, analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction, modeling) and empirical methods (document analysis, interview, scientific observation) were used for requirements gathering, analysis, and design of the web application. Results: a web application was designed that includes undergraduate and postgraduate studies in Hygiene and Epidemiology, a help system, relevant information, and access to the subject Community Hygiene through the virtual classroom, virtual clinic, and repositories. The interface features horizontal menus with access to undergraduate, postgraduate, library, virtual classroom, virtual clinic, and departments, integrating the description of the professional model, curriculum, and teaching resources.
Conclusions: the web application represents one of the best means to foster the development of skills that facilitate learning by competent professors, contributing to the improvement of their performance for correct decision-making in each area, as well as to the development of students’ skills. It promotes individualized teaching, interactive learning, and a participatory and creative attitude, contributing to the transformation of the teaching-learning process.
