Abstract:
It is registered that the search for educational tools by education professionals for the development of human capital was small until 2020 due to the service of the available platforms being outdated and difficult to access for the vast majority. Schools have important demands for training to meet the needs of professionals for the formation of basic skills necessary for a subsequent continued training in service. Therefore, there was a need to implement Mooc, open and massive online courses, which are a practical alternative for training and facilitate access from anywhere, through an internet connection, and so during the pandemic we started studying the Moodle platform , to meet the demand to acquire knowledge about the use of educational technologies for the classroom of education professionals. The Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rondônia -IFRO worked on the TimTec platform, in 2018 to offer these courses, but we realized that the service did not meet the institution's demand within the proposal of courses with relevant workload for curriculum and we also did not have information about the student who was taking the course. For the implementation procedures of the new service, we studied the need to choose the best platform. Moodle met the objectives and we made adjustments to capture data from the course participants, as the platform comes with the self-registration option disabled, we enabled and added the necessary fields, as it was an important point of the course, to identify the course participant's profile and to serve the economically vulnerable population, we linked the socioeconomic questionnaire and, for the purposes of registration in the National Information System on Professional and Technological Education-SISTEC, we provided opportunities for the registration and validation of the registration of individuals-CPF in the environment. Indicators are important for the institution, data informs where we are reaching with the technology. We also studied the use of additional plug-ins to generate a certificate formulated in accordance with the IFRO Resolution for validation purposes, the work methodology was linked to a test environment, in version 6.10 of the platform called qa: which was created for guarantee quality; this provides a less altered version of the app, in which peopleware can perform managerial verifications and testing of usage. It was also a concern of the team was accessibility to serve our students with disabilities, and we deployed seven plug-ins in the environment to cater for at least 6 types of disabilities identified by the International Classification of Disabilities, Disability and Handicaps - ICD, and thus allow everyone to have access to courses within the inclusive perspective and the implementation was managed by the Accessibility in Electronic Government-E-mag model. In our agenda, we intend to install courses to meet the demands of the population raised by the responsible public sectors. We have identified numerous advantages in using the tool by test users: that they reduce the knowledge gap; provides time and convenience savings; objective concepts promote learning for the application of theory in school practice; Increase the network of contacts; Time flexibility; Fit for All, promoting inclusion.
