A course in Distance Learning, available by Moodle UFSC, being developed in five themes: Origin of the Oceans, Oceanography like a Science, The Marine Ecosystem, Santa Catarina Island - Environment and Ecosystem. Each theme had the theoretical content of the subject, description of practical activities to be developed in the classroom and in the ecosystems of SC Island and quiz to assess the participants of the course, as well as, references of text and audiovisual materials. The course was offered in November 2009 for the participant to study 16 hours of theory by EAD and 4 hours of practical activity visiting some ecosystems of the Santa Catarina Island. Participants took more than 90% of the content offered and made a positive assessment on the content and materials available on the course. The practical activity allowed us to assess the participants’ involvement with their training, as well as discuss some themes related to exchange experiences among people. It is expected to continue the project, extending it to other municipalities in the coastal region of SC and clumping the suggestions made by teachers who participated in the course.
