Interfaces gráficas referencialmente claras e sua utilização na criação de laboratórios para a aprendizagem a distância on-line

Abstract

This study demonstrate the importance of Distance Education as respects on-line distance learning. It intends to discuss the possibilities of this type of learning: the credibility of distance education platforms, the use of metaphors in the creation of referentially explicit graphic interfaces, the construction of educational programs utilizing graphic libraries and efficient program languages and, further, the proposal for an on-line distance learning platform monitored by the apprentice. It concludes that the utilization of distance laboratories is a way of breaking down barriers, creating conditions that make on-line teaching an educational system that will be acceptable and will promote efficiente learning. Besides this, the proposal to create an on-line distance learning plataform monitored by the apprentice can be an important contribution toward improving the teaching-learning process.
