Adaptation of the Moodle for Application in Distance Education Course at the State University of Campinas

AbstractThis paper presents Pedagogical Platform for Interactive Communications (PPIC) which is a platform developed to support Distance Learning Courses (DLC). PPIC is based on Moodle and was developed by LANTEC/UNICAMP for support training of teachers in using technological tools in classrooms. The customization of PPIC was based on a survey that was conducted with 2.100 users that indicated the most frequent problems that they have faced while being a student in previous DLC. As many problems were addressed by our developed platform, we expect that our PPIC succeed in support DLC
