Abstract

The prospect of a long life for a large population poses new challenges for both public policy and to the individuals themselves. In this context technological resources and the Internet represent an important channel and conducive to a continuing education. The distance education in this scenario can become a form of social inclusion for the many possibilities. But with new emerging paradigms there is a need to investigate how planning should be done online courses for seniors. Thus the pedagogic architecture, organizational structures and planning, can help in discussion and reflection on the subject. Therefore, the objective of this research is to build pedagogic an architecture for distance education toward the elderly population. The study will be from a qualitative and quantitative approach, consisting of three stages of development. In the steps we aim to build arrays of pedagogic architecture and apply them. Data collection will be held from participant observations, interviews, questionnaires and production technology of the participants. With the study is to develop the awareness that the elderly have the potential to learn through distance education, which will require cultural change through new learning.
