This article aimed to analyze the necessary changes in the extension course of Special and Inclusive Education experienced by the students and team, in the modality of e-learning, of the Foundation Center of Sciences and Education of the State of Rio de Janeiro, through new referrals, particularly in times of pandemic, through practices that rescue the relevance of the continuous training process, permeated by synchronous and asynchronous activities. As a methodology, this research was conducted by the qualitative method, through collaborative research. The data collection instrument used was a semi-structured online questionnaire developed in Google Forms and the data were processed through Content Analysis, using Bardin's categorization method. The results showed that in pandemic times of mandatory social distancing, a virtual approximation becomes the right choice for the educational process in distance. Stimulating contact between all those involved is essential to increase confidence and further motivate learning. In this sense, reflecting on a dynamic online education, without ties to structured and predictable models is predominant for the quality of the courses and especially for the adequacy to the profile and needs of the students, considering that the individual's formation is directly associated with the affective and social stimuli to which they are submitted.
