Abstract:
A major difficulty in developing the distance education programs is the lack of training teachers in distance learning methodologies. Quality mediate the process of knowledge construction in a virtual environment is essential to the teacher. There are no good or bad teaching practices, but adequate and inadequate strategies to achieve the purposes set forth. The teacher needs to organize their practice in a creative way, by seeking a motivated student. The aim of this paper is to reflect on different teaching strategies that can be adopted in the distance, as a forum for discussion and case study. The survey consisted of a qualitative analysis, with bibliography. With the advancement of technological resources are new possibilities of mediation in the distance. Therefore, the teacher must be in constant training, appropriating different teaching strategies. Therefore, it is necessary that teachers not only adequate resources but that they reflect on their practices and adopt strategic actions in relation to their work so that students can learn from these elements.
