THE REVOLUTION OF MULTIMEDIA RESOURCES IN DISTANCE LEARNING: INTEGRATION, INTERACTIVITY AND INNOVATION IN THE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS

Abstract

This study aims to conduct a literature review on the use of multimedia resources in distance higher education, emphasizing how they can assist and integrate teaching, in addition to making students more interested in the teaching-learning process. With this in mind, the methodology used to achieve this objective was a literature review, where the use of descriptors was carried out on the CAPES and Google Scholar platforms. In addition, the modules of the discipline of this master's degree were also used, thus searching for works corresponding to the proposed theme. From the results found, it was possible to note that multimedia resources have been widely used in teaching-learning, a fact exacerbated by the interest and engagement that students show when these resources are present. Thus, distance learning has adapted to these resources, with the use of text editors, music, videos and images that assist in education and, at the same time, bring positive results for students. It is observed that a large part of the benefits of using multimedia resources are found in the ease of access to information and the practicality of accessing the platforms, which can be accessed from any location at any time, thus allowing the student to adapt the study to their routine. Therefore, distance higher education is on this path, increasingly seeking ways to reach this technology-engaged audience and, at the same time, allowing teaching to be efficient and relevant for everyone.
