ABED
The Brazilian Association of Distance Education, a non-profit scientific society focused on developing open, flexible, and distance education, was created on June 21, 1995, by a group of educators interested in distance education and new technology learning.
Its main objectives are:
- Stimulate the practice and development of projects in distance education in all its forms;
- Encourage the practice of the highest quality of services for students, teachers, institutions, and companies that use distance education;
- Support the country's "knowledge industry" by seeking to reduce inequalities caused by isolation and distance from large urban centers;
- Promote the use of different "media" when carrying out distance education;
- Foster a spirit of openness, creativity, innovation, credibility, and experimentation in distance education.
ABED's main scope includes institutions, companies, universities, and people interested in discussing and deepening knowledge in distance education. To this end, ABED organizes congresses, seminars, scientific meetings, and courses aimed at systematizing and disseminating knowledge in distance learning.
ABED is a member of the Brazilian Society for the Progress of Science (SBPC) and is affiliated with international institutions, including the International Council For Open and Distance Education (ICDE) and the OpenCourseWare Consortium (OCW).
The ABED page on the Internet features the trilingual "Brazilian Open and Distance Education Journal", dedicated to DE scholars. It also features texts and works on DE, a calendar of events, news clippings from the leading newspapers, links related to DE, and distance course addresses. The page is constantly updated and always focuses on members and people who want to get involved with this area of pedagogical knowledge (www.abed.org.br).
ABED is made up of the following categories of members:
- Individual Members: individuals interested in promoting distance education as an instrument for the progress of democratic societies;
- Institutional Associates: legal entities interested in ABED's objectives;
- Honorary Associates: individuals or legal entities of notable knowledge who, for this reason, are distinguished by ABED and
- Maintaining Associates: legal entities that significantly contribute to increasing ABED's work.
