Foi elencado, em cada plataforma analisada, um curso da área da educação com o intuito de obter um foco de pesquisa. As plataformas analisadas foram escolhidas partindo da pesquisa de Panta (2013) sobre os MOOCs, selecionando aqueles que disponibilizam cursos na área da educação: Coursera, EdX, NovoEd e Veduca. A fim de analisar de forma qualitativa a acessibilidade das plataformas dos respectivos MOOCs, elencaram-se dois validadores de acessibilidade na web, Hera e DaSilva, realizando uma observação sobre os resultados. Posteriormente, analisou-se um dos principais recursos de ensino e aprendizagem das plataformas, as vídeoaulas, quanto à acessibilidade. Considerando os relatórios dos validadores utilizados e também a análise dos dados, foi possível concluir que o recurso vídeoaula disponibilizado nos MOOCs analisados não atendem a todos os parâmetros de acessibilidade. Contato principal: [email protected]

Recently, there have been massive efforts in E-learning implementation for educator training around the world. E-learning could shortly be defined as a web-based educational system on platform with Internet,  Intranet or computer access. This article describes the possibility to implement E-learning for non-formal teacher training in Indonesia. Non-formal teachers have to realize that they face new challenge to improve their competencies and must be able to make appropriate use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). This is a challenge that has caused non-formal teachers to reflect on how they adapt to new educational changes without compromising the quality of education. In addition E-learning also could be used to reduce the enormous cost of conventional non-formal teacher training.

The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in higher education, in many cases, does not necessarily correspond to an organizational, sustainable and consistent initiative in all courses or undergraduate programs imparted. An associated risk is wasting the potential of ICTs to contribute to the quality of education. This is an exploratory-descriptive, mixed methods investigation at Tecnológico de Costa Rica (TEC) to determine the components and factors affecting a Maturity Model (MM). Participants were students, teachers, and institution officials. Results show the components of a maturity model that provides teachers with a roadmap for implementing e-learning in face-to-face, bimodal and virtual courses, advocating for a substantial contribution to the quality of education at a Costa Rican University.

This article considers the perspective of the key social actors (students, teachers and university management) regarding distance education development in Russia. In the modern information and digital age, distance education – based on the possibility of disseminating knowledge through modern computer technologies – is being actively introduced into the Russian higher education system. The pace of implementation is increasing in Russia, yet its assessment as a new form of learning and teaching is ambiguous. There are clear advantages to this form when compared with traditional face-to-face classroom instruction including: the accessibility of education to a wide audience; the possibility to earn a degree irrespective of place of residence; variability of learning time selection; relatively low tuition fees. At the same time, however, many believe that the quality of education received by distance students is lower than that received via face-to-face teaching, due to both the lack of student’ readiness and the difficulties related to pedagogical process organization and management. This study considers whether distance higher education will continue to develop in Russia. The answer to this question depends to a large extent on the perspective of the key social actors. The study analyses their attitudes to distance education and make the following conclusions: 1) University management generally accept this form because of its economic advantage and attitudes of the higher education authorities. Students also vote in favour, because it allows them to earn a degree without giving up work, family and home-related commitments. The most negative assessment is given by teachers who conduct classes at a distance and can compare distance learning outcomes with those in the traditional face-to-face classroom instruction. Keywords: distance education, quality of education, social actors, students, teachers, university management
