This paper presents the results of a project which investigates communication processes in Distance Education and the possibility of a relationship between the formation offered to university teachers and the pedagogical mediation undertaken by them in their courses. Teachers were interviewed and then an analysis was carried out of texts available online in teaching and learning virtual environments of the licentiate courses at Brazil’s Open University at the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, between 2008 and 2009. It was concluded that, as the number of centers increased, there was a reduction in direct contact between teachers and students. On the other hand, teachers are taking more responsibility for the course content and delegating to tutors the pedagogical mediation that occurs in communication tools in teaching and learning virtual environments.Downloads
