CAEIRO, DOMINGOS  and  MOREIRA, JOSÉ ANTÓNIO. Fabricating innovation in Higher Education: Strategies for Distance Education in Portugal. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.1, pp.19-34. ISSN 2447-4193.  https://doi.org/10.21573/vol34n12018.82460.

Open and networked learning emerges as one of the great educational challenges of the present century. However, this challenge demands some thought and strategies geared not only to the sustainability of the institutions that promote it and to the quality of its educational offer, but also to the definition of policies that, sensitive to deep social and educational asymmetries, integrate Distance Learning (DL) within the framework of a public pedagogy and a participatory democracy. Therefore, the present article contains some important ideas for the promotion of a debate on DL in Higher Education, analyzing possible strategies and concrete measures that need to be defined for this educational subsystem.

Keywords : distance learning; higher education; innovation; digital society.
