RESUMO: A Universidade Aberta enfrentou um profundo processo de mudança que envolveu não só a virtualização de todo o seu processo de ensino e aprendizagem, como a definição de novas competências para o seu corpo docente ea criação de novos perfis, ambientes e rotinas implementando o novo modelo pedagógico da instituição para a educação online. Um dos maiores desafios desta mudança foi proporcionar a formação e apoio adequado ao corpo docente, cujo novo papel implicava colocar em prática o novo ...

In a networked society, everyday experience is shared in networks at a personal, professional and academic level. Thus, there is a need to have digital literacy skills to obtain and produce contents in a collaborative way, sharing the knowledge acquired in the personal learning network.
This paper is a reflection of literature revision in the PhD project of Online Distance Education and e-learning, concerning themes such as digital identity and personal learning networks. In this way we aim to make a literature analysis about the necessity of digital literacy so that we may obtain competencies for a personal learning network.

Este projeto integra a Realidade Aumentada (RA) no ensino da enfermagem, utilizando objetos digitais imersos no mundo real para simular a resolução (diagnóstico e tratamento) de casos clínicos de feridas. Acreditamos que a RA, aliada ao diagnóstico e tratamento destas feridas, permitirá um diagnóstico imersivo e mais pormenorizado, podendo trazer benefícios para odesenvolvimento de competências no ensino da enfermagem. enfermagem. A utilização de tecnologias móveis para obtenção da RA permitirá aos estudantes observarem as feridas num contexto simulado, próximo do real. O projeto será suportado pela plataforma e-fer desenvolvida por investigadores do Instituto Politécnico de Leiria (IPL), a que será acrescentada uma componente de RA em casos clínicos que possam beneficiar desta integração, constituindo-se como projeto de investigação para doutoramento do primeiro autor.

O presente artigo aborda a utilização de ferramentas Web 2.0 no ensino online como potenciadoras de ambientes sociais interactivos e culturais, promovendo uma aprendizagem em contexto. O estudo realizou-se com estudantes de um curso de mestrado na área do e-Learning que participaram numa actividade sobre a temática Web 2.0 onde caracterizaram este conceito e exploraram várias destas ferramentas. A actividade foi planeada e desenvolvida de acordo com os princípios teóricos revistos, nomeadamente a ...

This article describes an activity that was developed in the curriculum unit of Models of Distance Education, as part of the Master program of eLearning Pedagogy, at Universidade Aberta, Portugal. The students were asked to assume the roles of author of a theme and reviewer of another. Several existing and emerging models and theories relevant to Distance Online Learning were researched and worked on, namely: Blended Learning, Connectivism, Mobile Learning, Personal Learning Environments (PLEs), Virtual Worlds ...

The aim of this paper is to present the importance of legal and quality assurance aspects when setting distance learning networked curricula in higher education, highlighting the main steps to take and decisions to make about those aspects. This work is being developed within an Erasmus project-Networked Curricula.

Numa segunda fase, importa salientar que, na ausência de uma presença física como numa classe presencial, é determinante a construção de um comunidade virtual, onde a personalidade de cada aluno possa emergir e os diferentes estilos se possam compatibilizar. Os alunos ...

The rapid evolution of ICTs in the 21 st century requires highly competent and skilled workers. Distance education appears to be not only a possible but a highly viable solution to increase the competencies of those already professionally active. Virtual environments such as Moodle and Second Life with Web 2.0 tools now allow for socialisation and social presence in the process of distant learning thus facilitating cooperation, interaction and more interest on the part of the students. These new learning environments also make it possible to learn by doing as people learn how to use them as they are participating in the distance learning courses. The European Union, aware of the advantages of these pedagogical approaches, is funding projects for lifelong learning such as the MUVEnation programme. Several studies and current research lead us to conclude that these tools and Second Life, in particular, have great potential for teaching and learning as they enhance the development of socialization skills, peer and group work, critical thinking and problem solving. At the same time it is recognised that further research is required in order to overcome certain drawbacks.

Over the past 10 years there has been a great evolution of technology and the way the teaching and learning process is developed, as well as how research and publication are carried out. The Web 2.0, a term coined by O'Reilly in 2004, has introduced a new concept to the use of the Internet, in particular as it relates to the educational framework. The web 2.0 tools allow the creation of emerging ubiquitous environments that enable the development and management of a real Personal Learning Environment (PLE). This chapter is a proposal for the “Handbook of Applied Research on E-Learning in Engineering and Architecture Education” and represents a literature review on the topic of Personal Learning Environments (PLE). It explores the definition around the concept of PLE, its history, the advantages for its use in a lifelong learning process and its importance in the scope of the present research.
