| description | 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. |

El presente artículo parte del reconocimiento de las personas de la tercera edad como un segmento poblacional con un papel cada vez más relevante en la demanda de educación continua. Sin ignorar el difícil panorama que enfrentan muchos adultos mayores en el país, se asume también que estas personas, contrario a sus homónimos de hace algunas décadas, se han hallado con ciertas condiciones que les permiten mantener una vida más activa. Tanto las ofertas de educación continua on line existentes como las que en el futuro puedan ser adaptadas a sus necesidades específcas, representan, en este contexto, espacios clave a los que pueden acudir en busca de oportunidades para la socialización, el crecimiento personal, y la actualización de conocimientos. Esta es, sin duda, una gran oportunidad para mejorar la calidad de vida de esas personas, al tiempo que se les permite asegurar su vigencia laboral, aunando sus largos años de experiencia a la adquisición de nuevos saberes. Se trata, pues, de una investigación exploratoria que requiere la búsqueda, el análisis y el procesamiento de información secundaria relacionada con prácticas que propicien el envejecimiento activo y productivo. El objetivo es sentar las bases para el desarrollo de un programa de educación continua que se adapte a las necesidades y características propias del adulto mayor en Colombia, específcamente de la región Caribe.
