Abstract

The objective of this research is the development of a methodology for e-Learning which enables the production of courses mediated by computer, geared to Technology Information. The research takes advantage of the developmental atmosphere of a business and part of its methodology for the production of its in-person courses to adapt and transpose its components to the model of distance courses and educational programs that will be implemented. The project defines the methodology of online teaching and orientation documents for the author, for the teacher and for the students. As a practical test of the theoretical bases, the project develops an online pilot course on Basic Programming Logic for application to a group of students in public and private schools in Campinas. Using this pilot course a tool for online course management will also be tested. (AU)
