RESUMO

This study describes the trajectory from the requirement analysis to the configuration of software and hardware tools and human resources needed to implant a distance course system at the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing (EERP/USP). This is one of the results of extensive studies realized since 1998, when the Study and Research Group on Communication in the Nursing Process (GEPECOPEn) started its research on the use of videoconferencing as a teaching and research tool, with a view to improving health professionals’ practice. Including the subject of a distance education platform was part of this research’s natural course, considering the urgent need to offer innovative alternatives for knowledge dissemination, given the lack of physical space, time and physical and human resources. The choice of a free software is in accordance with the guidelines established by the University of São Paulo, the State and the Union. Distance education allows for greater flexibility in teachers and students’ agendas and expands the capacity to attend to a permanently increasing demand. The results of this work are based on the system implantation process and the offering of a pilot course to a group of undergraduate nursing students at EERP/USP. The steps preceding the implantation of the software platform until after the offering of a course are taken into consideration. Next, data obtained from the distance course process are analyzed. This work produced the following results: the implanted system, the implantation process inventory and a detailed script for the creation of a distance course in the Teleduc platform. In combination with the script, this implanted system can be used by teachers and other professionals to start their activities in this virtual teaching-learning environment.
