The Hybridization of Distance Learning in Brazil: An Approach Imposed by Culture.
Litto, Fredric Michael
International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, v2 n2 Jan 2002
Higher education institutions in Brazil are seriously behind in the use of distance education largely because of the highly centralized control by the Ministry of Education. Hybridization, or the combination of face-to-face and distance learning techniques, is not motivated by pedagogical choice, but rather the only legally permitted approach in degree-granting higher education.
