Por uma pedagogia da colaboração e cooperação na Educação a Distância: à guisa de reflexões, elos e potencialidades formativas

The work presents reflections about the process of knowledge construction, having as Virtual Learning Environment (AVA) as a locus. This is a qualitative, analytical and descriptive research, in which a bibliographic study was carried out. In order to do so, concepts such as "collaboration" and "cooperation" in EAD were analyzed, and in order to strengthen the main argument - the emergence of a collaborative and cooperative pedagogy as an unparalleled requisite for the elaboration of knowledge - brought to the fore discussions on the fertility of " collaborative writing "and" interactivity "in AVA. Finally, in the belief that the debate qualifies and offers points of light to some less enlightened corners of the area, the article concludes that the construction of a knowledge network can be fostered, as the principles of individual responsibility and collective in the search for solutions and deepening of the discussions and promotion of the principles of solidarity with the learning of all.Keywords: Technologies in Education.
