This essay is a theoretical approach regarding types of distance education, methodologies and technologies, and various possibilities of experiential constitution of the curriculum in which hypertext is a fundamental aspect to conceive open and expanded perspectives to develop curricular practices mainly in distance education courses, through the construction of a pedagogical design able to promote autonomy, creativity, inventiveness and, at the same time, engage the subjects in the pedagogical process. The conceptions of curriculum addressed in this paper are not restricted to distance education. The perspective of analysis of the curriculum according to distance education principals and the pedagogical designs that make up an on line learning environment is an important theoretical approach in order to validate distance education own procedures. It demonstrates the contributions of distance education to the educational processes in the theoretical and methodological fields that may be added to traditional education when it imports distance education practices and when it hybridizes the educational process in blended learning approaches. This essay exams many possibilities presented by distance education considered as education with technological mediation in order to reanalyze the perspectives of curriculum and methodology developed in the context of the educational process.

Keywords : Distance education; Curriculum; Pedagogical design; Hypertext; Technologies.
