This paper presents the results of a survey carried out with 347 people, over 60 years old, via proportionate stratified random sampling of the Brazilian population of older adults, whose main objective was to verify if they reach the best conditions to deal with disinformation shared on social networks, after taking a 10-day WhatsApp course. Respondents were observed in two stages. In each stage a different questionnaire was applied, and the respondents needed to evaluate if headlines were true or false. As a result, we can mention that the digital literacy course increased the older adults’ proficiency in detecting the nature of information after two months of the course's completion.
