RESUMO

This work aims to develop and explore technologies and methodologies for E-learning teaching and learning experiments in the field of Structural Engineering through the web. An initial bibliographical revision was done encompassing definitions, legislation, history and ending with a survey about the state of the art on E-learning via web. A thorough survey about available computational educational systems and about available technologies for the development of E-learning via web has also been done with the objective of providing the basis for a proposal for an E-learning plataform and to develop the contents of an introductory course on Introduction to the Finite Element Method. Some technological resources commonly used for the development of web environments have been presented, because they have been applied on this project. The choice of such resources has been justified by comparing them with other available technologies. The resources listed on the survey showed the great potential of applying such technologies on the development of web applications, which encouraged the proposal of a platform for E-learning via web and the development of a computational system for teaching the Finite Element Method to be run in the web environment. The digital content of the course Introduction to the Finite Element Method was also developed in a format for the Internet, applying concepts of hypertexts, hypermedia and exploring multimedia resources, such as animation, images, photos, etc The site environment for the course has been implemented aiming to approximate the interpersonal relation among students and instructors and offering additional facilities to stimulate and facilitate this form of teaching and learning. During the development this work, has been confirmed the need for multidisciplinary teams in the development of such projects so that the E-Learning through the web remains a strong alternative to democratization of knowledge in this country.
