FORMAÇÃO DE TUTORES PARA ATUAR NA DISCIPLINA DE LIBRAS EM CURSOS DE GRADUAÇÃO À DISTÂNCIA: UM ESTUDO DE CASO

ABSTRACT Virtual environments allow communication and interactivity to occur. The objective of this article is to present a case study of the formation of tutors for the discipline Brazilian Sign Language for Deaf for undergraduate courses. A case study is carried out in which the use of strategies to prepare tutors for the discipline is verified. The case was chosen because of the relatively short course time and the success achieved in tutors' preparation. Videos, workshops and the Moodle virtual environment were used, as well as a good selection of students that facilitated student study. Learning in virtual environments is very dependent on the quality of the work performed by the actors involved in the educational processes, not just the tools.
