Abstract

This research project belongs to the research line "Digital literacy" of the Research Group "Languages, ethnicities, and styles in transition" - LEETRA (CNPq). It is based on studies on situated literacy (Street, 1993; Hamilton, Barton, Ivanic, 1993; Barton, Hamilton, & Ivanic, 2000; Kleiman, 1995)and on new technologies (Gee, 2004, 2010; Latour, 2005; Buzato, 2009). Examples of genres derived from new technologies are e-mail, tweets, online texts constructed on hyperlinks, which make part of everyday life nowadays. Our main objective implies the investigation of materials utilized in a course to be offered by UAB/UFSCar in 2013, observing how the transposition/translation of face-to-face didactic material to a virtual environment is made. The methodology is ethnographic, participative, and collaborative. We aim at contributing to the other studies being developed by other researchers of LEETRA , as well as to the project " Translation and New Literacies" (CAPES/PNPD), besides furnishing subsides to the implementation of EaD in what concerns the reflection on the production of specific didactic materials.(AU)
