Geriatric oncology is based on the synergy between several professionals whose common goal is to improve care for older patients with cancer. This requires sharing a common core of knowledge to facilitate collaboration between them. To date, training in geriatric oncology has been limited in scope and difficult to access for caregivers, particularly nurses and healthcare aides. To meet this need, a massive open online course (MOOC), in geriatric oncology has been developed in France. This kind of course aims to provide simultaneous access for a large number of participants and to foster communication with the pedagogical team through discussion forums. The first session of the MOOC, which has been set up in the Occitania region of France, went online nationwide from March 6 to June 23, 2020. Despite the SARS CoV-2 global health crisis, 1020 people subscribed to the first session and 417 (40.9%) were certified at the end of the course. Most are nurses (35.2%) and work outside Occitania (56.3%). A survey revealed a high satisfaction level regarding relevance of lessons (97.9%), pedagogical quality of teaching team (97.9%), knowledge acquisition (93.6%), meeting learners' needs (90.4%) and practical value of the course (88.3%). This preliminary experience demonstrates the ability of this MOOC to spread the culture of geriatric oncology and the educational potential of this new type of online training.
老年肿瘤学基于几个专业人员之间的协同作用，他们的共同目标是改善对老年癌症患者的护理。这需要共享一个共同的核心知识，以促进他们之间的合作。迄今为止，老年肿瘤学的培训在范围上是有限的，对于护理人员，特别是护士和医疗保健助手来说，很难获得。为了满足这一需求，法国开发了一门老年肿瘤学的大规模在线开放课程（MOOC）。这种课程旨在为大量参与者提供同步访问，并通过论坛促进与教学团队的交流。该 MOOC 的第一期课程在法国奥克西塔尼地区上线，于 2020 年 3 月 6 日至 6 月 23 日在全国范围内上线。尽管发生了全球 SARS-CoV-2 卫生危机，但仍有 1020 人订阅了第一期课程，其中 417 人（40.9%）在课程结束时获得了认证。大多数是护士（35.2%），并且在奥克西塔尼地区以外工作（56.3%）。一项调查显示，课程的相关性（97.9%）、教学团队的教学质量（97.9%）、知识获取（93.6%）、满足学习者需求（90.4%）和课程的实际价值（88.3%）都得到了高度认可。这一初步经验表明，该 MOOC 有能力传播老年肿瘤学文化和这种新型在线培训的教育潜力。
