Abstract(s)
Segundo documentos de organizações internacionais (UNESCO, OCDE, EU), a educação a distância e a aprendizagem online são modalidades que podem responder de forma mais cabal aos desafios que colocam
as estratégias de cooperação europeia no âmbito da formação e aos objetivos estabelecidos para os estados-membros nesse contexto. No presente artigo analisam-se alguns desses documentos mais recentes e explana-se o papel da aprendizagem a distância (sobretudo ao nível do ensino superior) no quadro da
educação de adultos e ao longo da vida, como um contributo central, em termos de inclusão social e de
valorização pessoal e profissional dos cidadãos. Em face de quadros de referência europeus como o das competências em empreendedorismo e o das competências digitais, consideramos que o ensino online será
mesmo a resposta mais adequada. Referimos ainda o papel singular que a Universidade Aberta de Portugal (UAb) tem no panorama do ensino superior português, enquanto instituição pública criada especificamente
para atuar no contexto de educação a distância e analisamos algumas das formas pelas quais a UAb tem respondido aos desafios que lhe têm sido colocados, considerando a especificidade do seu perfil de estudante
e a necessidade de criação de estratégias que conduzam ao cumprimento da sua importante função social.
Abstract: According to documents from international organizations (UNESCO, OECD, EU), distance education and online learning can best respond to the challenges of European cooperation strategies for training and the objectives set for Member States in this area. This article examines some of these more recent documents and explores the role of distance learning (especially at tertiary level) in adult and lifelong learning as a central contribution in terms of inclusion and personal and professional enhancement of citizens. In the face of European reference frameworks such as entrepreneurship and digital skills, we believe that online learning is indeed the most appropriate answer. We also refer to the unique role that Universidade Aberta (UAb, Portuguese Open University) plays in the Portuguese higher education landscape, as a public institution created specifically to act in the context of distance education, and we analyze some of the ways in which UAb has responded to the challenges it has been facing, considering the specificity of the student profile and the need to create strategies properly to its important social function.
