Abstract In the school year 2003/2004 Basic School 3/S Vitorino Nemésio, on Terceira Island, Azores, became the first Portuguese school with adult e-learning, from 5th grade up to the secondary level (12th grade). The purpose of this research was to answer the question: “Which are the possibilities of development of adult elearning in the Autonomous Region of the Azores?” The development of a case study seemed appropriate as an approach to the issue, because we intended to focus on its depth, understand the way it works presently, identify its main weaknesses and find ways to improve this system in the future. The results tell us this system appears as an affirmative answer to the geographical and demographic limitations of the Azorean Islands. Nevertheless, there are still unsolved problems, mostly the teachers’ limitations as far as pedagogic and technical skills on the fields of Information and Communication Techniques and e-learning are concerned. Adult elearning also offers other possibilities, on the domain of teachers’ and other staff’s continuous formation as well as its wider and more effective implementation outside the Region

Keywords : Evaluation E-Learning; Distance Learning; Adult Education.
