The study aimed to assessthe contributions of education mediated by digital technologies toward updating and acquiring knowledge on cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the nursing team of a public teaching hospital in Brazil. It used a quasi-experimental, before-and-after design, with one single group. Data collection, based on information from the Virtual Learning Environment, was through sociodemographicquestionnaires, and pre- and post-tests, after the reading and completion of the informed consent form. The use of technology-mediated education provided a reflective space and stimulated autonomy in studies. This permanent education format effectively contributed to the update/acquisition of the participants’ knowledge of the theme, evidenced by the satisfactory performance obtained by a majority of them, with statistical significance.
