Abstract(s)
In Portugal, since 1994 teachers from Basic and Secondary Education(1), in order to progress in their careers (according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education) need to engage themselves in continuing education. Courses or workshops on pedagogic, methodological or scientific topics are organized for them by higher education institutions, or by associations of schools of different levels located in a certain area. In these courses, teachers may gain credits, which are necessary for their progression. These are traditional face-to-face courses. Universidade Aberta offered this kind of courses too, but in 1997 it started an experimental programme of open and distance continuing education. Short courses on new technologies for teaching, evaluation and assessment techniques, didactics of literature, child and youth literature were offered to basic and secondary school teachers. This was the first open and continuing education programme organized by Universidade Aberta.
