Abstract

The present investigation is connected to studies carried out in the doctoral thesis that investigated the DE Pedagogy Courses at UCS and UFRGS universities with the objective of understanding the social role of the university in view of EaD advancements and their contributions for the teaching and learning processes. The adopted method for the investigation was the Study Case, as supported by Yin (2005). The data collection in order to build each case comprised analysis of institutional documents and semi-structured interviews. The theoretical background that provided the research base contemplated studies by Belloni (2003), Chauí (2001), Santos (2004, 2005) and Leite (2005), among others. Therefore, the achieved results empowered the social role of the university while EaD advancements fostered the expansion, the democratization of access and the development of practices with innovating approaches within the teaching and learning processes in the university.
