Abstract:
Every individual has or presents their own way of learning. Different learning styles are recognized in the educational system as: visual, auditory or kinesthetic. Data from the Demographic Census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics for the year 2010, report that Brazil has a population of more than 35 million people with visual impairments and that needs to be attended with resources that include the educational, cultural and of leisure and the right to accessibility of people with disabilities is based on human and citizenship rights being regulated in Brazil. However, for this subject to have access to learning, it is necessary to develop materials that provide their knowledge. This study aims to develop a Talking Book and Anatomy Podcast to contribute significantly to the teaching-learning process of content related to human anatomy, favoring an inclusive education. Initially, students enrolled in a private higher education institution in the city of Rio de Janeiro, under the guidance and coordination of the Professor of Anatomy, chose the relevant topics within the universe of Anatomy in order to structure and build the guidelines and material to be developed. Then, the visual identity of the Podcast was created and a Spotify account was created to promote the episodes for free. And then the content of the E-Book was written, using the graphic design website Canva and Microsoft Word programs, respectively. Subsequently, recordings, revisions and editions of the Falado Book were carried out using the Audacity program. All products created are released for free to promote the content produced. It is concluded that the podcast is a tool that is already becoming increasingly important for the dissemination of scientific knowledge. The resource, in addition to being an assistive technology, acts as a facilitator, as it can be played on computers, tablets or cell phones, on the way to college or even on public transport, contributing to an inclusive education. The talking book makes it possible to develop and obtain innovative resources that add to the efforts to ensure the continuous implementation of accessibility criteria in the configuration of undergraduate courses, and aims to contribute to the provision of information on human anatomy, allowing an inclusive education.
