O processo de construção do Portal de Ensino do Exército Brasileiro: relato de uma experiência

Abstract

This study describes the construction process of the Brazilian Army Platform for Distance Education carried on by Department of Teaching and Research (DEP). This sector is in charge of providing new educational programs for improving the quality of their members – officials and soldiers. The Department of Teaching and Research felt the necessity of improving the military background and visualize the opportunity of offering better opportunities of professional qualification to military staff and their family members by adopting the distance education programs. It is because military force is always moving from one place to another and it is not good for people enrolled in any course. The qualitative methodology was adopted to identify the difficulties faced by the team of work. Some interviews were performed with the professional responsible for the Platform design and construction. The major problems faced by the team were related to the lack of specialized staff to develop and implement the system, there were not adequated machines to attend the system specifications and the lack of appropriated infrastructure to maintain such system like the one they were planning to develop. So, they got help from another sector to develop the new platform.
