Educação a Distância: O Uso Das Tecnologias Como Instrumento De Inclusão Educacional E Social

Abstract

This article aims to address distance education and the use of technologies as an instrument of inclusion in the educational and social spheres. In this way, we will present an analysis that involves distance education and the understanding of what technology is. The methodological procedure adopted is the bibliographical research with a qualitative approach. We conclude that distance education was recognized as a modality by the National Education Guidelines and Bases Law No. 9.9394 / 96 in a period of technological expansion in the country. The regulation of this modality and its characterization by the use of the technologies contrib-uted to the change of the vision of education, mainly to the attendance of the citizens who for some reason can’t attend the higher education face-to-face
