TelEduc: A virtual learning environment for teaching and learning at the University of Campinas, Brazil

Abstract

The present paper aims to describe the learning experiences of some students during their pre-service stage as future teachers between 2015 and 2017. Approximately 80 students have participated in the development of this proposal. These students belong to three different programs: Pedagogy in Early Childhood Education, Bachelor of Mathematics Education, Bachelor in Physics and Chemistry from the State University of Campinas, Brazil. As part of their practice they use the teaching and learning system called Open-Teaching, which is available for undergraduate courses at Unicamp. This system automates the registration of courses in the TelEduc and Moodle environments. Both Virtual Learning Environments offer content and communication tools, allowing activities among the participants. TelEduc supports the teaching learning processes for the three education programs including exact sciences and pedagogy.
