DESAFIOS DA EDUCAÇÃO A DISTÂNCIA ON-LINE

Abstract

In recent decades, with the advent of the internet, EAD - Distance Education gained a relevant prominence due to the possibilities of teacher versus student, student versus student interaction. This interaction between peers was possible via chats, forums (with thematic discussions), video calls, video conferences, meetings mediated via platforms such as Meet, Zoom, among others, thanks to the possibility of using New Information and Communication Technologies - NTIC's. However, even with all these possibilities of interaction and communication, the challenges in offering a quality course remain, since they pervade several points that require the attention of those who seek this type of education. Among these challenges, we can point out some such as: composing the instructional design, the professional prepared in front of this construction (the instructional designer), the multidisciplinary team that will take the project off paper and make it real, the teachers, the tutors, the equipment , students' lack of Internet access to take advantage of distance learning courses, lack of knowledge in basic information technology, difficulties in staying motivated and disciplined, lack of technological training for teachers when using digital platforms. It can be said that there is a range of devices needed for consistent improvements in distance learning, but among all the challenges listed, the main one cannot be left out, the distance learning student, what is their student profile and how much autonomy he needs to succeed on his learning trajectory.
