The aim of this research was to evaluate a module of a semipresential continuing education program for educators about toxoplasmosis. Therefore, we evaluated the cognitive skills of 165 professionals from public schools in kindergarten and elementary level I, before and after the implementation of a semipresential online course, from 2009 to 2013. As regards the general level of knowledge about toxoplasmosis in all issues, we observed a significant increase (p <0.0001) after the course compared with the initial data. Regarding the etiologic agent, between 97% of those who had a little knowledge before application of the course, only 8% remained (p <0.0001) at the same level. Clinical signs of human toxoplasmosis most cited after the course, in descending order, were: abortion and / or congenital problems (60%) and lymphadenopathy (53.9%), while in animals were fever (29.1%) and abortion (26.7%). The means of human transmission most often cited by the course participants after the intervention were: the contact with the feces of infected cats containing oocysts (51.5%) and then, the eating of raw and undercooked meat (37.6%). The most frequently mentioned means of prevention, after the course were: avoid to eat raw and undercooked meat (58.2%) and avoid the contact with animal feces (51.5%). Based on the results obtained in this study, it was possible to prove the contribution of continuing education of teachers by means of Distance Learning (EaD) for the acquisition of knowledge, unprecedented in the literature.
