Abstract

This project aims to update and reorganize the modules of the course "Introduction to Scientific Journalism" from RIDC NeuroMat, on the Wikiversity platform, aligning them with the contemporary demands of the field. Grounded in the principles of connectivism and the application of emerging educational technologies, the initiative seeks to promote collaborative and interactive practices, fostering scientific literacy and critical thinking among participants. The project also emphasizes the use of open educational resources to democratize access to knowledge and enhance scientific communication. With an interdisciplinary focus, the goal is to create a solid foundation for the future expansion of the course, consolidating Wikiversity as an innovative space for open learning.
