Teaching Anatomy demands strategies that stimulate the students' interest, avoiding memorization and offering a contextualized teaching. This paper reports the experience of creating and using a persona, as a pedagogical strategy, in a hybrid-learning environment. The data were generated by participant observation, from posts on social media, and by two questionnaires. Content analysis was performed by categorization and by means of the Likert Scale. The use of a persona contributed to the training of Physical Education undergraduates, especially due to its playfulness trait, increasing participation in activities, motivation, engagement and interest in learning. It also fostered a sense of belonging in relation to the discipline. In summary, the use of the persona was well received by students and can be adapted to any subject, as long as the persona is developed regarding characteristics from the students taking the subject in question.
