PEDAGOGICAL MODEL
THE 4 CORE AREAS OF ACTION
Actions to support the implementation of the University
of Lisbon’s E-learning program are based on a
pedagogical model that is built upon four principles that
underpin and regulate actions and intentions:
The University of Lisbon E-learning Programme presents
four core areas of action which enable its practical
execution:
1. Publicising and Dissemination
Include actions to divulge the intentions and objectives
of the programme’s implementation.
2. Training
•The model emphasizes the central importance of
resource-based learning (RBL) for the design and
organization of courses in blended or fully online
learning environment.
•E-learning context place the student at the center of
the learning process, while promoting the role of the
student within the technologically mediated learning
context, flexibility and autonomy present to be
determining factors.
•Students interaction with peers, professors, resources
and technologies are seen as encouraging factors to the
development of collaborative work. The use of
different media, and online communication and
collaboration tools are perceived as a priority in the
design of digital learning environments.
•The role of e-moderation is highlighted as the
managing factor behind all learning processes
conducted in online education, in order to ensure
support and monitoring of student learning progresses.
Workshops, specifically designed for professors and
researchers, take place for the development of skills
needed in the use of technology and online systems.
3. Support Systems
The area of support services and systems corresponds to
the maintaining of infrastructures that undertake the use
of the implemented online systems and tools.
4. Monitoring:
Development of strategic actions to monitor on-going
operations, as well as regular evaluation of processes
and results, in order to ascertain the adequacy and
effectiveness of the plan of action.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
During the implementation phase of the plan
(2010/2013) it is expected:
 Increase the percentage of blended/fully online
learning offered.
 Increase the number of courses with an online
representation.
 Increase the number of curricular unites using
blended/fully online learning.
 Development of courses/post-graduate
programs in e-learning environment.
The aim is to contribute to the achievement of the
strategic plan of the University of Lisbon, where a true
commitment to provide solid education, inspired by
competitive research, and a pledge to community
service is assumed. The objective is to project the
