This article presents discussion: What is the pedagogical potential of social networks to support collaborative learning online? Since the argument is that social networking is to feature the ability to facilitate transparency, interaction and communication among students. The basic assumption is that transparency is important for online education cooperative. People can collaborate only know each other and have access to some information and common services. Online collaborative learning within the central challenge is to enable students to follow the work of their colleagues enabling learning in everything that is produced. Also, transparency is an important driver of quality improvement.
Personally I would comment that as a student of Masters in Pedagogy of E-Learning can say that really is very good to share the productions of his colleagues and especially to learn from them, after all we are a group with a different training focus more pedagogical and other more affinity with the technologies, which has been wonderful, but also a challenge. It is not easy to learn while being evaluated throughout the process not only by the teacher or the group, but in an open throughout the Network, which often exposes us, but then the transparency makes us follow in pursuit of increasing quality. A big challenge.
Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age (december 2004)

George Siemens
The three broad learning theories most often utilized in creation of instructional environments are behaviorism, cognitivism and constructivism, however, were developed at a time when learning was not impacted through technology. Over the past twenty years, technology has reorganized how we live, how we communicate and how we learn.And the learning needs and theories that describe the principles and processes of learning, should be to reflect the social environment.Many important questions are raised when established learning theories are seen through technology. The natural attempt of theorists is to continue to revise and develop theories as conditions change. At some point, however, the underlying conditions have changed so significantly, that further modification is no longer sensible. A completely new approach is needed.
While not directly addressing transparency in online education, I see that this article provides an important foundation for discussing education mediated by technology, and allows us to evaluate the need for a new approach when it comes to learning.
Social networking sites: Transparency in online education (octubre – 2010)

Dalsgaard this article gives the sequence its work by discussing the pedagogical potential of social networking sites and presents two features of Social Networking: personalization and socialization, and these characteristics lead to transparency, for the author's point of departure for this social interaction is the work done by pupils in their own personal pages. The author also reviewed the literature on the definition of groups: communities and networks.In this article I consider it important to reflect on how social relations mediated by the network can support learning and still the focus of students should create awareness that production must be shared.

Síntese do Debate – Autenticidade e Transparência na Rede
Disciplina: Educação e Sociedade em Rede
Equipe participante: Denyze Ruckl, Fernando Jorge Faria, Helena Prieto, Joaquim Lopes e Margarida Marmeleira.
Mediação: Professor António Teixeira
Equipe participante: Denyze Ruckl, Fernando Jorge Faria, Helena Prieto, Joaquim Lopes e Margarida Marmeleira.
Mediação: Professor António Teixeira
O debate sobre a Autenticidade e Transparência na Rede iniciou com a colocação, por parte de nosso mediador, de dois tópicos para motivar a interação, são eles:
1- Em que medida a nossa identidade digital é um prolongamento da nossa identidade pública ou um campo alternativo de expressão de uma dimensão escondida da nossa personalidade íntima?
Buscando sintetizar tudo que foi discutido pelo grupo podemos dizer que identidade é um aspecto muito complexo da natureza humana e uma única pessoa encarna multiplicidade, segundo Suler em Identity Management in Cyberspace. A forma como as pessoas se comportam na rede é curiosa, podendo a identidade virtual ser um prolongamento da identidade pública. Mas, também pode ser uma construção mais fantasiosa com todo o tipo de objectivos em vistas – forma de expressar desejos ou fantasias, afinal tudo é possível no Ciberespaço, cada indivíduo pode se mostrar como gostaria de ser, a Rede possibilita que situações mal resolvidas de um indivíduo (como por exemplo aparência física, ou características psicológicas) possam ser escondidas por detrás da tela e ainda que as pessoas sentem-se mais à vontade para dizer o que queriam e isso nem sempre é bom. Há alguns limites que a sociedade põe ao nosso comportamento e as pessoas aprendem a não dizerem tudo o que são e o que pensam, para serem aceites socialmente. Na internet, como não estão a olhar para os outros essa regra não vale.
Não podemos deixar de considerar que dada a enorme quantidade e diversidade de indivíduos com acesso actualmente à Internet, é desaconselhável qualquer tentativa de generalização de comportamentos, atitudes, ou motivações.

2- O perigo da fraude intelectual (ex.: plágio) aumentou com o advento da internet?
Nesta questão o exemplo de fraude intelectual: plágio norteou a discussão. Sempre houve plágio o que mudou é que com a internet, o acesso e a velocidade com que tudo pode ser encontrado é o que fez com que a fraude intelectual aumentasse , o que explicaria o aparecimento de software para a detecção de plágios como, por exemplo, Plagiarism Detector ou sites como o duplichecker ou o da universidade da Virgínia.
O site http://www.freelegaladvicehelp.com/copyrights/plagiarism/Definition-For-Plagiarism.html apresenta uma pesquisa interessante que mostra que o plágio não é levado a sério. As pessoas copiam e deixam-se copiar como se isso fosse normal. Fazem isso na escola e estão tão habituados que continuam pela vida fora, na vida profissional, pois acham que tirar alguma coisa da internet não é grave porque a internet é pública, mas o facto de uma informação ou um estudo se tornar público na internet não significa que não tenha direitos de autor, plágio é crime.
A tecnologia não tem responsabilidade pela expansão destes casos, esses padrões de comportamento têm relação com aspectos éticos e morais. Não só o plágio, como outras fraudes intelectuais existem porque encontram na sociedade uma parcela de pessoas predispostas e que não vêem problema no uso livre de que está na internet. A facilidade com qualquer pessoa pode fazer passar por seu aquilo que pertence aos outros. É uma questão preocupante e os professores têm um papel importante em tentar desenvolver o espírito cívico dos futuros cidadãos afinal esta noção de propriedade intelectual é ainda algo que precisa de ser interiorizado.

Na continuidade do debate nosso mediador inseriu novas questões a serem debatidas:
3- É possível alguma entidade particular ou alguém (e se sim, qual ou quem) controlar a rede?
Para iniciar a discussão deste tópico o conceito de "controlar" é importante. A proposta foi de utilizarmos a seguinte definição: capacidade de impedir ou limitar o acesso à rede bem como definir os conteúdos permitidos através da censura.
Devido ao facto de a Internet, desde a sua origem, não ter centro mas ser um rede de redes em que cada nó é independente dá a ideia de que a internet não pode ser controlada. Esta ideia não é inteiramente verdadeira. Dois casos, extremos, podem ser citados: a China e a Coreia do Norte o acesso dos seus cidadãos à rede. Mas não pensemos que estes casos só existem em países não democráticos. Basta lembrarmo-nos da proposta de lei francesa sobre o corte do acesso à Internet para quem seja apanhado a fazer downloads ilegais ou a proposta de Lei S.773 do Senado americano que atribuía ao presidente o poder de assumir o controle temporário das redes privadas e desligar computadores privados da Internet (cf. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10320096-38.html ).
E nos casos das páginas com conteúdo criminoso, umas ligadas a pedofilia, a tráfico humano, a xenofobia, a terrorismo, etc. Quando essa páginas são detectadas, é feito um esforço de as retirar da rede ou de localizar quem está por detrás delas. Mas é um trabalho infeliz. A rede é tão vasta e quem a utiliza mal é tão habilidoso que consegue contornar isso e criar novas páginas sem grandes problemas. Vendo esta situação podemos afirmar que a net tem de tudo um pouco, bom, mau, muito bom e muito mau , com todas as implicações morais e educativas (ou não) a questão não está no que a net tem mas no que queremos aceder. E nestes casos particularmente controlar não é o caso, o que devemos sim é educar nossos jovens e crianças para o uso adequado da Internet. Assim como fazemos na vida o que é certo e o que é errado.... o mesmo vale para o uso da tecnologia.

http://www.livinginternet.com/i/iw_mgmt.htm
4- Em que medida a rede é segura e em que medida a informação nela partilhada é confiável? Quem o pode garantir?
A Internet pode ser um local tão inseguro como partes das nossas cidades. A questão está em sabermos reconhecer esses perigos. E é claro que com o aumento do comércio online e a deslocação de cada vez mais serviços públicos para a net a segurança dos dados é um problema importante. Quanto a informação confiável depende do local onde estamos acessando. De facto, muitos sites na net são extensões das instituições e são uma forma de apresentação pública e de publicidade. Por isso a informação neles contida será fiável, para bem da própria instituição. Sendo assim podemos confiar neles e na autenticidade das informações que disponibilizam. Nada como o prestígio da instituição para garantir a autenticidade das informações. Isso é tão valido para a internet como para o mundo real.Precisamos de afinar as nossas capacidades de filtragem , interpretação e juizos.

CIBERCULTURA
O desenvolvimento das tecnologias digitais e a profusão das redes interativas, colocam a humanidade diante de um caminho sem volta. As práticas, atitudes, modos de pensamento e valores estão, cada vez mais, sendo condicionados pelo novo espaço de comunicação que surge da interconexão mundial dos computadores: o ciberespaço, que indica claramente a abertura de um espaço de comunicação qualitativamente diferente daqueles que conhecíamos. Poderíamos então afirmar, inicialmente, de forma muito simplista que o termo cibercultura abrange os fenômenos relacionados ao ciberespaço, ou seja, os fenômenos associados às formas de comunicação mediadas por computadores. Sendo assim a Cibercultura é a forma sociocultural que advém de uma relação de trocas entre a sociedade, a cultura e as novas tecnologias.
Lévy, em seu livro Cibercultura sustenta a tese de que : “a emergência do ciberespaço é fruto de um verdadeiro movimento social, com seu grupo líder (a juventude metropolitana escolarizada), suas palavras de ordem (interconexão, criação de comunidades virtuais, inteligência coletiva) e suas aspirações coerentes.”
A interconexão é uma das pulsões mais fortes na origem do ciberespaço.Para cibercultura , a conexão é sempre preferível ao isolamento. A conexão é um bem em si.
A cibercultura expressa a mutação da própria essência da cultura. De acordo com a tese de Lévy a chave da cultura do futuro é o conceito de universal de totalidade. Nessa preposição, “o universal” significa a presença virtual da humanidade para si mesma. Com o advento do ciberespaço, o compartilhamento de memória permite aumentar o potencial da inteligência coletiva. O saber, agora codificado em bases de dados acessíveis on-line, é um fluxo caótico. Daí, segundo ele, a necessidade de repensar a função da escola e dos sistemas de aprendizagem e avaliação. Nesse sentido, critica o fato de o diploma ser o único método de reconhecimento da aprendizagem e aprova a integração de sistemas de educação “presencial” e à distância. Por fim, propõe um método informatizado de gerenciamento global de competências, que inclui tanto os conhecimentos especializados e teóricos, quanto os saberes básicos e práticos
Nesta sociedade cada indíviduo ou grupo pode administrar de acordo com seus interesses e escolhas como deseja fazer uso do ciberespaço e de suas ramificações.
Para ilustrar o que foi desenvolvido até agora a respeito dos conceitos de apresentados na obra de Lévy, podemos citar os seguintes exemplos: Moodle (ambiente virtual de aprendizagem), Second Life e blogs.

Cooperative Freedom - LO - Activity 2
My proposal in this activity is to relate what we are studying the unit PPEL with the reality of Brazil and consequently my work, searching for relationships, then interviewed Laura Cunningham (with a great deal of experience and a national consultant to Distance Education in SENAC - "Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Comercial"- undertaking work)
Laura Coutinho
Graduation in Portuguese Literature and Education, specialization in Reading and Computers in Education, Masters in Computer Science from Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Experience in education and business training (continuing education) with the use of technology. Main Areas: development of courses in distance mode, face and flexible. Area of research: learning objects and e-learning. Member of the Research on Computing in Education at the Center of Electronic Computer / UFRJ, Director of the Brazilian Association of Education and Didak Consultoria. Ltda.
ENTREVISTA:
1 - Laura initially like that in his experience, as you see the development of distance education in Brazil today?
Offering online courses in Brazil strides with the mission to become a tool to promote the democratization of education in the country. Only since 1994, with the expansion of the Internet with Higher Education Institutions and the publication of the Law of Directives and Bases for National Education (LDB - Dec/1996) that formalizes the Distance Learning (ODL) as a valid mode and equivalent for all levels of education, is that the Brazilian university began to engage in research and course offerings at a distance using information and communication technologies (ICT). Another important fact for the expansion of distance education in Brazil is the creation of the Open University of Brazil in 2006.
2 - You worked as a consultant in the implementation of the Distance Education Network Senac that offer courses Postgraduate throughout Brazil. What were the major challenges of this project?
The training of staff coordination, mentoring, production.
3 - And now after 6 years of network which need to renew the teaching model used?
Network EAD Senac must accelerate the process of course development, because the demand for new titles is great.
4 - Morten Paulsen Flap in "The Theory of Cooperative Freedom" argues that adult learners often seek flexibility and individual freedom. At the same time, many need or prefer group collaboration and social unity. These objectives are difficult to match. There is a tension between the desire for personal independence and the need to contribute in a collective learning community. Thus, cooperative learning is to develop virtual learning environments that allow students to have optimal individual freedom within communities of learning online.
Relating this theory to the experience of Network EAD Senac, as you see the possibility to combine flexibility and individual freedom, in collaboration with a group?
The EAD provides access to knowledge for people in remote areas, to ensure the citizen formation. Therefore, the term "distance", ie, the separation between tutors and course participants, remains strongly linked to this type of education. The other three components of the concepts of distance education preferred by many researchers in the area are: the use of technology, support mentoring and independent learning. At the moment, are getting stronger learning communities and social networks, which can cause the transmutation of the self-learning in learning with others, with visible strengthening of cooperative learning factor.
5 - The online collaboration really worth it or is just a waste of time? We have data that the work of the Distance Education Network Senac?
The EAD is to gain more recognition in the educational co-operation, because it raises the levels of learning. The reports of the guardians Network EAD Senac show this fact. The greater interaction more retention, understanding, reflection.
6 - What is changing in EAD?
There are several initiatives in partnership with power to affect the practices and the concept of distance education, especially with regard to increased blurring of boundaries between various forms of distance and face on the one hand, and the other between courses and structured environments virtual structures unconventional. One example of this kind of environment "cave virtual reality" of the School of the University of Sao Paulo - where you can perform the most varied experiences of virtual simulation - another example is the "repositories of learning objects, virtual banks multimidiáticos data regarding any knowledge of any educational level, directly accessible and free and reusable, with a visible impact on the expansion and acceleration of learning in and out of structured courses.
EAD walks to promote flexible learning through courses that can, for example, fail to have a fixed date to begin and end, accept different conditions of entry, offer choices of subjects

Blibliografia Comentada: Processos Pedagógicos em E-Learning
Social Software to Support Distance Education Learners Introduction http://www.aupress.ca/books/120146/ebook/09_Anderson_2008_Anderson-Online_Content.pdf
This material discusses the challenges of developing models of distance education that offer the greatest possible freedom for students, including
ability to record continuously and with a pace of learning itself, and yet
also create opportunities and benefits of working cooperatively in
learning communities with other students
The Hexagon Of Cooperative Freedom: A Distance Education Theory Attuned to Computer Conferencing : http://www.nettskolen.com/forskning/21/hexagon.html
This article presents a distance education theory based on existing theoretical perspectives and discusses how it applies to computer confer-encing. In an analysis of existing theories of distance education, Keegan(1988a, 30) concluded that six major elements define a distance educationprogram:
- The separation of teacher and learner, which distinguishes it from face-to-face learning;
- The influence of an educational organization, which distinguishes it from private study;
- The use of technical media, usually print, to unite teacher and learner and carry the educational content;
- The provision of two-way communication so that the student may benefit from or even initiate dialogue;
- The possibility of occasional meetings for both didactic and socialization purposes; and
- The participation in an industrialized form of education which, if accepted, contains the genus of radical separation of distance education from other forms.
The implications of introducing CMC in distance education are discussed for each of these elements by Mason and Kaye (1990). They conclude that the use of CMC has three major implications for distance education:
- The breaking down of conceptual distinctions between distance education and place-based education;
- The changing of traditional roles of faculty, administrative and support staff, and adjunct tutors; and
- The provision of an opportunity, which never existed before, to create a network of scholars, "space" for collective thinking, and access to peers for socializing and serendipitous exchange.
These implications are so important that it is necessary to re-evaluate traditional distance education theories and discuss how they attune to CMC.

independent effect sizes representing academic performance. All eight cooperative learning
methods had a significant positive impact on student performance. When the impact of
cooperative learning was compared with competitive learning, Learning Together (LT)
promoted the greatest effect, followed by Academic Controversy (AC), Student-Team --
Achievement Divisions (STAD), Teams-Games-Tournaments (TGT), Research Group

Reading and Composition (CIRC). When the impact of cooperative classes was compared
with individualistic learning, LT promotes the greatest effect, followed by AC, GI, TGT, TAI,
STAD, Jigsaw and CIRC. The consistency of results and diversity of cooperative
learning methods provide strong validation for its effectiveness.

This material discusses the challenges of developing models of distance education that offer the greatest possible freedom for students, including
ability to record continuously and with a pace of learning itself, and yet
also create opportunities and benefits of working cooperatively in
learning communities with other students
The Hexagon Of Cooperative Freedom: A Distance Education Theory Attuned to Computer Conferencing : http://www.nettskolen.com/forskning/21/hexagon.html
This article presents a distance education theory based on existing theoretical perspectives and discusses how it applies to computer confer-encing. In an analysis of existing theories of distance education, Keegan(1988a, 30) concluded that six major elements define a distance educationprogram:
- The separation of teacher and learner, which distinguishes it from face-to-face learning;
- The influence of an educational organization, which distinguishes it from private study;
- The use of technical media, usually print, to unite teacher and learner and carry the educational content;
- The provision of two-way communication so that the student may benefit from or even initiate dialogue;
- The possibility of occasional meetings for both didactic and socialization purposes; and
- The participation in an industrialized form of education which, if accepted, contains the genus of radical separation of distance education from other forms.
The implications of introducing CMC in distance education are discussed for each of these elements by Mason and Kaye (1990). They conclude that the use of CMC has three major implications for distance education:
- The breaking down of conceptual distinctions between distance education and place-based education;
- The changing of traditional roles of faculty, administrative and support staff, and adjunct tutors; and
- The provision of an opportunity, which never existed before, to create a network of scholars, "space" for collective thinking, and access to peers for socializing and serendipitous exchange.
These implications are so important that it is necessary to re-evaluate traditional distance education theories and discuss how they attune to CMC.

Aprendizagem colaborativa
Ao iniciar a ambientação do Mestrado em Pedagogia do E-learning nos deparamos com diversas ferramentas que nos darão suporte no processo da aprendizagem, algumas delas já eram conhecidas da maioria do grupo, outras ainda não haviam sido utilizadas por muitos de nós como no caso do Second Life e enfrentar o novo não é fácil. No meu caso tive dúvidas, fiquei insegura em alguns momentos e até um pouco viciada para tentar vencer as dificuldades, mas fui aprendendo com as experiências dos colegas e trocando informações com o grupo, fui me adaptando nada como aprender colaborativamente .
Nada como ir em busca de aprender a aprender, sem conceitos já definidos e sem preconceitos... de mente aberta é como esse sentimento incial que gostaria de abrir este espaço.
