dc.description.abstractThis paper shows the results from a study carried out in the scope of a Master of Arts dissertation on Education - Specialization in Educational Technology - which has been presented to the Institute of Education and Psychology, University of Minho - Braga, Portugal. It describes the problem of lack of specific disciplines in the Curricula of undergraduate courses of languages (Translation) in Brazil as to the practical teaching of free and open source CAT (computer-assisted translation) tools. The study includes an electronic survey which results identify the CAT tool of highest importance or preference for everyday translation working. The survey's answers were obtained from a limited number of participants from Trad-Prt, one of the most important Yahoo-Groups electronic discussion list on translations to/from Portuguese. On the basis of the chosen CAT tool, an HTML-based Learning Object (LO) has been developed by means of eXe Learning, a free and open-source software editor. The LO's prototype has been submitted to usability evaluation from a group of experts in the field. As conclusion, we make a proposal for effective implementation of teaching CAT tools by means of learning objects in the scope of the Curricula of language courses ministered at undergraduate level. Teachers could make good use of LO aiming to provide their students with adequate knowledge to match the strong demands from nowadays global market, i.e., mastering the use of the most updated CAT tools available. A reference to a PhD thesis to be presented to Open University of Lisbon, Portugal, by the second half of 2016, which enlarge the scope of this M.A. study to Portuguese Universities - in the frame of Distance Education and e-Learning context - is also made.pt_PT
