THE USE OF THE MOODLE PLATFORM FOR E-LEARNING IN THE UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF AMAZONAS - UEA: POSSIBILITIES AND CHALLENGES

Abstract

This work discusses the use of the Moodle platform for the creation of virtual learning environments, with emphasis on e-learning, a non-face-to-face teaching model supported by Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDICs), bringing a reflection on the practical use of e-learning as an alternative to face-to-face teaching at the State University of Amazonas (UEA), that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it needed to rethink its educational practices, so that they could enable the training in e-learning of the entire faculty of the institution. The Moodle platform is being used with its variety of tools for developing online teaching practices, both synchronously and asynchronously, Moodle Activities and Resources enable teachers to incorporate digital resources into everyday academics through the UEA AVA Virtual Learning Environment. The bibliographic nature of this research was based on the authors: Lemos (2003), Soeltl (2002), Silva (2017), Sabbatini (2007), Giardino (2009), Coelho (2017), Almeida (2003). Considerations point to the importance of using the Moodle platform in the construction of virtual learning environments, such as the UEA AVA that began to incorporate e-learning into its educational practices in the face of new challenges imposed due to the pandemic, evidencing that from the present moment, EAD will no longer be called Distance Education to become Education with Digital Approximation. The coming years should be marked by a growth in content sharing, specifically in relation to online teaching.
