| Sumario: | This article starts from the recognition of older people as a population segment with an increasingly relevant role in the demand for continuing education. Without ignoring the difcult panorama faced by many older adults in the country, it is also assumed that these people, contrary to their homonyms of some decades ago, have found certain conditions that allow them to maintain a more active life. Both the existing online continuing education offers and those that may be adapted to their specifc needs in the future represent, in this context, key spaces to which they can turn in search of opportunities for socialization, personal growth, and the updating of knowledge. This is, without a doubt, a great opportunity to improve the quality of life of these people, while allowing them to ensure their working life, combining their long years of experience with the acquisition of new knowledge. This is, therefore, an exploratory research that requires the search, analysis and processing of secondary information related to practices conducive to active and productive ageing. The aim is to lay the foundations for the development of a continuing education programme that is adapted to the needs and characteristics of older adults in Colombia, specifcally in the Caribbean region.
