O link do conhecimento: uma análise sobre o uso das tecnologias da informação e comunicação no ensino à distância a partir de universidades públicas do Amazonas

Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), throughout its history, has proved to be increasingly active in the life of humanity. In turn, sometimes they suffer from their inherent adversities transmission capacity and interaction. For this research, we worked ICT in Distance Education (DE), from an ecosystem look through the virtual Moodle platform, within the Education Center (CED) Distance of the Universidade Federal do Amazonas (UFAM). In this dissertation, we attempted to analyze how ICT has been worked in distance education and if it’s possible its cooperation in this mode of education. To this end, we used authors like Levy (1999), Castells 2012), Maturana and Varela (1995), Martin (2011), Maia and Mattar (2007) and Luhmann (2011) to seek the understanding and connection between ICT , DL Ecosystems and Communicative. The research concluded that the use of ICT in distance education is connecting the autopoiesis of Maturana and Varela, with a closed network, but able to self organize and transform according to the needs and desires that means results in its functionality. It was also concluded that social systems Luhmann (2011) is present in this study, since the distance has its starting point in the integration and social and cultural interaction of society.
