O Estado do Rio de Janeiro, juntamente com as universidades públicas (federais e estaduais) sediadas neste estado, iniciou no período 1999-2000 a construção do consórcio Cederj. Neste artigo são apresentados alguns aspectos importantes que influenciaram decisivamente no planejamento inicial desse projeto, tais como o contexto histórico da Educação a Distância no Brasil e em outros países, a situação do ensino superior no Brasil à época, mostrando que a metodologia de Educação a Distância passava por uma transição entre instituições tradicionais? e instituições que iniciavam oferta de cursos com e-learning sob influência das novas tecnologias. É também descrito o desenho acadêmico do projeto inicial, com a distribuição de oferta de cursos semipresenciais no ensino superior nas instituições públicas e os resultados da implementação dos primeiros cursos, que geraram grandes desafios para a continuidade do projeto, considerado um dos casos mais bem-sucedidos dos dias atuais.Palavras-chave: Consórcio Cederj, Fundação Cecierj, História da EaD no Brasil, Darcy Ribeiro, e-learning, Ensino superior, Educação pública. Cederj Consortium: The History of Project ConstructionAbstractThe State of Rio de Janeiro, together with the public universities (federal and state ones) in this referred state, began in 1999-2000 the construction of the Cederj consortium. This article presents some important aspects that influenced decisively the initial planning of this project, such as the historical context of Distance Education in Brazil and in other countries, the situation of higher education in Brazil at the time, showing that the methodology of Distance Education went through a transition between "traditional" institutions and institutions that started offering e-learning courses under the influence of new technologies. It is also described the academic design of the initial project, with the distribution of the offer of blended courses in higher education in public institutions and the results of the implementation of the first courses, which generated great challenges for the continuity of the project, considered one of the most well case nowadays.Palavras-chave: Cederj consortium, Cecierj Foundation, History of EaD in Brazil, Darcy Ribeiro, e-learning, Higher education, Public education.

Abstract: Society is currently experiencing scientific, technical and social progress, requiring constant renewal with higher quality dedicated to higher education. Distance education (EAD) allows the raise of new learning forms. EAD uses new technologies and the internet to raise the population education level, creating a higher professional qualification and providing training for specialists in several areas of knowledge. Despite the existing facilities and technologies, EAD has evasion rates that are around twenty-five percent. The question that raises from this data is; what are the critical factors associated to pedagogical management that led to this high evasion rate? The objective of the research was to determine the critical factors of pedagogical management, which have an impact on the evasion in undergraduate courses in the EAD. The research place was a higher education center in the north of Santa Catarina state. The identification of the critical factors and main variables that can cause evasion makes use of a method developed for this analysis, with data confronted with the literature, considering the main authors dealing with this topic. The tool chosen for the results analysis was the statistical correlation. Among the critical factors related to pedagogical management, it is possible to mention the adaptation to distance education, and support and feedback as fundamental questions to reduce evasion.

<P class=abstract>Canada's postsecondary institutions are becoming increasingly involved with technology enhanced learning, generally under the rubric of distance education. Growth and activity in distance education stems from rapid developments in communication and information technologies such as videoconferencing and the Internet. This case study focuses on the use of new technologies, primarily within the context of higher education institutions operating in Canada's English speaking provinces. Capitalising on the interactive capabilities of "new" learning technologies, some distance education providers are starting to behave more like conventional educational institutions in terms of forming study groups and student cohorts. Conversely, new telecommunications technologies are having a reverse impact on traditional classroom settings, and as a result conventional universities are beginning to establish administrative structures reflective of those used by distance education providers. When viewed in tandem, these trends reflect growing convergence between conventional and distance learning modes, leading to the hybridisation of higher education in Canada.</P>

With new technologies and cyberspace-literate students, distance education has been in high demand and more schools are getting into online education. As such, understanding the needs of current and prospective learners has become especially important for success in the new millennium. Based on the learners’ needs and current technology status, this study provides a review on the feasibility of online education for modern students in a developed nation. Based on the survey of 203 undergraduate students, this research provides an assessment of their views, needs, and wants for the feasibility of offering online courses and programs. Such demographic variables as gender, ethnicity and education demonstrated statistically significant results. Recommendations are provided for administrators to enhance their online offerings as a result of the feedback from students. The document further explores online education, online operation, and other such variables that impact the success of students in higher education.

To Come

Distance education is big business; more than 1.6 million students enroll in distance education classes annually. The Institute of Higher Education (2000) estimated that by 2004 more than 90% of all two- and four-year colleges will offer some sort of online courses. By the end of 2003, the virtual education market will grow in excess of $21 billion (Svetcov, 2000). New technologies and improvements in networking capabilities are enabling distance education instructors to come closer to providing the traditional learning environment for their students. However, many issues still need to be resolved and, according to recent research studies, it does not appear that these will be resolved any time soon.

The Ministry of Education in South Africa has identified distance education as a system that should extend educational opportunities and provide access to individuals who do not have the opportunity to study fulltime. The White Paper 3 - the National Plan for higher education (DoE, 2001a) advocates an increase in the general participation rate in public higher education in South Africa, with the aim of facilitating lifelong learning, developing the skills base of the country and redressing historical inequities in the provision of education. Badat (2005) adds that through distance education access is presented to people who would not have the opportunity to study fulltime because of work commitments, personal and social circumstances, geographical distance or poor quality or inadequate prior learning experiences. Distance education offer flexible learning to students. The flexibility of learning at a distance using new technologies gives students an opportunity to study while working. The technology can make an impact in supporting teaching and learning.
