ABSTRACT
RESUMO

O uso de Recursos Educacionais Abertos (REAs) tem despertado a atenção dos pesquisadores na área da educação pelas contribuições que pode trazer para o desenvolvimento da aprendizagem, incluindo o ensino de línguas. Um dos problemas encontrados, no entanto, tem sido a dificuldade de adaptação dos REAs a diferentes contextos de aprendizagem, na medida em que vêm prontos para o professor e não apresentam facilidades de modificação. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é descrever os resultados obtidos com um sistema de autoria que permita ao professor produzir e/ou adaptar REAs que atendam às necessidades específicas de seus alunos. Para isso, usa-se como metodologia de desenvolvimento o recurso de software livre, com base na linguagem PHP, em uma concepção de colaboração em massa, em que cada REA pode ser desmontado em seus componentes básicos pelo professor, remontado com modificações e redistribuído para outros professores. Esses outros professores, por sua vez, usando o princípio da modularidade elástica embutida no sistema, podem repetir o processo e introduzir novas modificações, criando um amplo acervo, praticamente sem limites de acesso, de espaço para armazenamento e de possibilidades de modificação. Os resultados, conforme exemplos produzidos e modificados por professores, mostram, do lado positivo, a viabilidade do sistema em produzir REAs adaptados a diferentes contextos de aprendizagem. Do lado que precisa ser melhorado, percebe-se a necessidade de o professor se adaptar ao mundo virtual, produzindo materiais mais interativos, muito além do texto impresso em papel.

ABSTRACT

The use of Open Educational Resources (OERs) has called the attention of educational researchers for the contribution they may bring to learning, including language teaching. One of the problems found, however, is the difficulty of OERs to adapt to different learning contexts because they come ready made for the teacher and are resistant to changes. The main objective of this paper is to describe the results of an authoring system that allows teachers to produce and/or adapt OERs that serve the specific needs of their students. Using this authoring system, based on open source code, teachers, within the massive collaboration approach supported by the system, can disassemble OERs into their basic components, reassemble them with modifications and redistribute them to other teachers. These other teachers, in turn, using the elastic modularity principle embedded in the system, may repeat the process and introduce new modifications, creating a large repository, without practical limits in terms of access, storing space and modification possibilities. The results, according to examples produced and modified by the teachers, show, on the positive side, the capability of the system to produce different OERs adapted to different learning contexts. On the other hand, the need for teachers to adapt themselves to the virtual world, producing more interactive materials, well beyond the printed text on paper, is also felt.
