FERREIRA, Sérgio André  and  CARDOSO, Eduardo Luís. A atividade de tutoria no ensino on-line: estudo de caso do ensino mediatizado recorrente nos Açores, Portugal. Educação. UNISINOS [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.02, pp.143-149. ISSN 2177-6210.

In the school year of 2003/2004 the Elementary/High School 3/S Vitorino Nemésio, in Terceira Island, Azores, has become the fi rst Portuguese school to have adult’s teaching by e-learning in Elementary and High School levels. In this research, we tried to understand how the role of tutor is exercised and how it can determine the development of the teaching/learning process. To approach this problematic, once we want to treat the subject intensively, we used the case study to describe and analyze how the role of tutor is exercised in its multiple ways. The results show that the lack of teachers’ experience as students and e-learning tutors, associated with the low knowledge concerning ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) and e-learning, compromises the quality of the work developed and explains the transfer of traditional teaching, namely in methodological and content issues.

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