LO BIANCO, Vittorio and FARIA, Lia. THE CEDERJ CONSORTIUM EXPERIENCE AND THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. Revista Teias [online]. 2019, vol.20, n.56, pp.113-132. Epub Dec 19, 2019. ISSN 1982-0305. https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2019.39784.
The proposal of this work is to reflect, based on the studies of Darcy Ribeiro in “A Universidade Necessária” (1991) in interaction with other authors about the place o distance learning in the expansion of the educational offer of higher education in the State of Rio de Janeiro. For that, we analyse the trajectory of the Center for Distance Education of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Cederj) and its connection with Darcy Ribeiro's thought-action - who was an enthusiast of distance learning in a time when the modality wasn’t considered yet amongst the public policies of education. In tracing the general lines of Cederj's way sand mis places, we inquire about the challenge sthat we face and underline its power as a way of access to higher education by thousands of students.
