Objective: Describe the construction and evaluation process for a prenatal virtual learning object for pregnant adolescents within the primary care context. Methods: This is methodological, technological study with a quantitative approach carried out in five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation and assessment of the quality of a virtual object by five judges from the fi eld of nursing in women's health, using the Learning Object Review Instrument, and in terms of ergonomics by five judges from the field of informatics, according to variables related to functionality, usability and efficiency. Results: The virtual object was entitled GESTAQ. In the evaluation of the judges from nursing in women's health, with the exception of interactive usability, the other items related to the quality of the virtual learning object obtained scores greater than or equal to 80%. In turn, in the evaluation of the judges in informatics, all the variables related to functionality, usability and efficiency obtained scores greater than or equal to 80%. There was a suggestion by these judges to improve the layout, which was implemented. Conclusion: The virtual learning object was evaluated satisfactorily by judges in the fi elds of nursing in women's health and informatics, in regard to quality and ergonomics. Therefore, it is considered that GESTAQ may be used as a supplementary digital resource for the educational process of pregnant adolescents within the primary care context to provide prenatal guidance.
