This research aimed to identify how the media profile of the teacher using digital media and the Moodle environment in a university in the south of the country can be altered from the offer of continuing education subjects. The theoretical reference was based on reflexive teacher training and studies on literacies. The qualitative research raised initial and final data of the media profile of the courses taught to 218 beginning teachers in two courses, with interval of three years, and identified the factors that are considered by the teachers to adopt or refuse the media and Moodle in their didactic practices. The media profile that appeared in the survey is that of professionals who are open to innovation, with confidence and willingness, and who have incorporated new ways of teaching with the media from the courses. However, they lack institutional support that considers the extra work that implies the inclusion of appropriate and challenging media and conditions to expand their literacy in meaningful pedagogical practices.
