Description
Summary:New ways of learning through learning objects is a prerequisite for this new generation in which digital media are part of the life of the student. In order to understand the importance of constructing these digital learning objects we developed the Digital Agents Project. By conducting a case study of the Project, in the State of Ceará, Brazil, we intended to realize the gear of people who work in the construction process in order to characterize their performance. Thus, we used a mixed research methodology, conducting a qualitative analysis with observation grids, as well as quantitatively, through a questionnaire. The research highlights the importance of this sector and the need for teacher training on development of educational resources. The results highlight the need for expansion of links and easy access to technological resources to mobilize teachers use learning objects in their classes, paying attention to the quality criteria.
