Abstract
With growing options of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on the Internet, there is a growing interest in using them to improve, expand and facilitate educational processes, be it in face-to-face learning or distance learning. In order to integrate multiple media, software and resources, facilitate interactions between teachers and students, as well as between people and objects of knowledge, within the environment of the Internet, different processing system solutions have been developed, especially since 1990, in the form of Learning Management Systems (LMS). Some examples of LMS include: MOODLE, TelEduc and Blackboard. The high levels of interest in researching and building LMS usually stems from areas such as Education, Information Technology and Communication. However, this article presents the unique and innovative aspects of the LMS NAVI, Interactive Learning Environment that was developed in Brazil at the UFRGS School of Business Administration by a core of researchers and technicians from different backgrounds, but especially from the field of Administration. The constructed virtual environment brings in tow the influences of concepts derived from Management theory, especially Systems Theory. It differs from LMSs, which are known for the systemic approach of their organizational structures (and navigation), rather than the traditional linear and mechanistic approach. For this reason, it has more advanced properties, especially in terms of adaptability, flexibility, recursion and multidimensionality, as opposed to the rigidity, linearity, specificity and onedimensionality of traditional learning platforms. Due to its innovative character, the platform has received growing academic and professional support, and it is believed that it could constitute a genuine and innovative educational, conceptual and technological solution in the Brazilian context.
期刊介绍:
The journal Theory and Applications of Categories will disseminate articles that significantly advance the study of categorical algebra or methods, or that make significant new contributions to mathematical science using categorical methods. The scope of the journal includes: all areas of pure category theory, including higher dimensional categories; applications of category theory to algebra, geometry and topology and other areas of mathematics; applications of category theory to computer science, physics and other mathematical sciences; contributions to scientific knowledge that make use of categorical methods.
