Afetividade no Ensino a Distância: Possibilidades e Limitações

Abstract

The present project of investigation aims to carry out a transcultural study involving teachers and students (brazilian and portuguese) who are experienced about distant learning (EaD). For that, it is guided by the following research question: Have distance learning higher education courses made it possible to build relationships that lead the students to significant learning and interfere in the students’ decision about keeping teaching method? Both countries rely on meaningful researches about the necessary technology to make distant learning work, while the discussions on affectivity in the relationships established in virtual learning environment are scarce.
