Distance learning (EaD) is in a period of profound change driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the country, opening up integration and a host of opportunities to improve the teaching and learning experience, making it more efficient.
This observation was made by Castelo Mário Maluleque, a teaching expert in distance education (EaD), during a round table on the theme “Technological innovations and learning assessment strategies in online teaching”, held recently in Maputo by the Polytechnic Group and promoted by the Instituto Superior Abetó (ISA), part of the Polytechnic University, on the occasion of the celebration of the 30th anniversary of distance education.
On this occasion, the expert, who is also a trainer for the National Council for the Assessment of Higher Education Quality (CNAQ), the executive body of the national system of assessment, accreditation and quality assurance of higher education, highlighted the challenges of education at a distance (EaD), education in the digital age, related to accessibility, digital skills, internet access and devices.
Castelo Mário Maluleque noted that “to address these distance learning challenges, it is necessary to invest in technological infrastructure, promote digital inclusion, develop accessible teaching materials, train distance learning teachers and create effective assessment tools.” Researcher Francisco Noa said that technological innovations pose challenges to higher education institutions and specifically urged the ISA to reconsider the best strategies for delivering courses in online mode, especially the form of assessment.
“I think this assessment issue is extremely complex and subtle. It represents a new context and a new paradigm of education, so much so that it affects beliefs, practices and convictions as well as the classrooms of teachers and administrators, it affects students, the job market and society as a whole. This is one of the challenging issues related to distance learning. Objectivity, rigor, exception, transparency and vision. Because we say that evaluation is the process of transformation. The teacher must have a clear vision of the student’s learning process”, concludes Francisco Noa.
It is noteworthy that the roundtable was hosted by Augusto Jone and held in a hybrid format, with guests attending including Narciso Matos, President of the Polytechnic University, Cristiano Macuamule, Vice-President, students, etc.
