Construction of international communities in Portuguese
by J.C. Paiva, Alfredo Matta
International Journal of Web Based Communities (IJWBC), Vol. 3, No. 2, 2007

Abstract: We present a proposal for research, development and construction of international communities in Portuguese using digital platforms. The idea was born following an international conference on distance teaching and learning, in which a meeting on 'E-learning and Portuguese-language culture' was promoted. The established contacts gave place to a new project to stimulate learning communities via the internet. Currently, the countries involved are Portugal, Brazil and Mozambique, but in a near future other Portuguese-speaking communities will be able to participate. The theoretical framework is provided by Vigotsky's ideas on learning contexts.
