Avaliação da experiência de teleformação do projecto ESTIA

Abstract

The present paper is intended to present both the process and assessment of a distance training, which was developed inside the ESTIA project. With this project it was intended to offer people suffering from cerebral palsy accessto the new information technologies and thus make them participate actively in the community. The evaluation process was intended to focus on critical analysis and process reorientation as well as identify some effects, which had not previously been anticipated. It was putinto practice mainly through interviews, document analysis, critical incidents registration and informal notes. It followed the distance training process all through the experience, which allowed to overview the training development and analyse its adjustments to needs. The main result to emphasise is that distance training is arestrictive process it self; a mixed system (distance and presential working together) seems to be a better one.
