Pedagogía da Autoria
Carmen Moreira de Castro Neves

Digital technology promotes the interaction, integration and convergence of means and therefore it places the discussion on new distance learning (DL) at the core of the debate. This new DL rejects bureaucratised or inflexible projects that impersonalise participants and restrain innovation and creativity. This text proposes a pedagogy that promotes authorship, from the starting point of strategies that acknowledge the student as a protagonist of the teaching act and respect the complexity and totality of the human being and his or her ability to construct meaning and create socially relevant knowledge. It presents projects that are currently being developed by the Secretary of Distance Learning of the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC). They use the authorship pedagogy to promote and translate the unlimited answers of individual and collective actors motivated to explore, analyse, contextualise, intensify, expand or, in other words, produce their own vision and experience on a certain subject.

Desenvolvimento de cursos baseados na Web: uma proposta metodológica.
Laura M. Coutinho Lopes; Marcos A. Casanova

The interest of educators on the Web has been growing fast. It is motivated by the advantages it offers, such as quicker distribution, access to a bigger number of people and speed in materials updating. This imposes a challenge: designing Web-based courses that address the new education curricula, with reasonable production costs. The purpose of this piece of work is precisely suggesting a process of design of Web-based courses that address this challenge. A brief historic review is presented here together with a summary of the categories and the emphasis on the use of the Web in teaching activities. Subsequently, it deals with the concepts of teaching situations and learning objects as ways to organise and develop Web-based courses. Finally, it analyses the way of structuring the process of course design, including a team development proposal centred upon the experience of the authors.
