[online]. 2023, vol.45, e52911.  Epub Oct 01, 2022. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v45i1.52911.

This article addresses the use of mobile devices in the learning process. It shows, from activity training, that the virtual communication application WhatsApp can be used as an enhancer in graduate classes, allowing the exchange of information between them, sending text, video, audio, and images, something versatile for accessing the involvement of graduate students with formal knowledge and among them, the teacher (facilitator), dynamically and innovatively, using this resource as a teaching strategy in extra-class classes. Discusses interactivity in an inverted classroom proposal ‘whatsaula’ (Alves, Porto, & Oliveira, 2019) involving the debate of two videos at various interactive moments in a Strictusensu graduate course. It analyzes the contributions of WhatsApp as a support application for learning processes and ‘whatsaula’as a viable pedagogical proposal in extra-class contexts.

Keywords : WhatsApp; whatsaula; interactive classroom; pedagogical practices.
