Processos Pedagógicos em Elearning

Unit 1: Act 3 - Review of AB & LO

Review of a Learnig Object

Maria João has a "prezi" on the theory of cooperative freedom, its presentation is clear and concise.
It was with Maria João that I discovered the existence of the "prezi" and has to realize that this is a new way to communicate. One advantage of this tool is the ability to re-use and sharing this eLearning material, which makes it a true LO.
My "issuu" although it can be shared and absorbed and then reused in various learning environments cannot be reissued :( so I will make available the slides on this blog that prompted it.
