Description
Summary:The main target of this search was to investigate the interaction and the interactivity of the e-studying courses of UnisulVirtual from the study of the communication and the language used on its didactic materials on. From the fundaments of neopragmatism we verified the propositional exchanges among the courses of UnisulVirtual in the virtual learning environments (AVA) and on the written materials (printed and virtual). The study showed that in spite of using an AVA, the focus of the model was on the printed didactical material and on the self mastery, so the evaluation of the personal presence and individual production was bigger than the communication through the Internet. Due to it the interaction spaces weren't following the goals targeted by the institution for the virtual tools, taking different functions while starting using it. This was the case of the tool tutoria, which was created to clarify students' doubts and strengthen the discussion over the contents, but it was actually used as a site for schedules and deadlines negotiations. The search demonstrated that the fundaments of neo-pragmatism can be used to analyze the communication and language in the virtual learning environments and contribute to the study of the interactions as they propose the understanding for good will and not for semantic analysis. However when excluding from the analysis what does not belong to the subject of the dialogs or occur in situations where there isn't any way to register the propositional exchanges and the new senses resulting from this interactivity, they suggest the need to do researches that include other explanations for the phenomena studied.
