This study aims at reporting an experience of offering a course in the master program of the Universidad Nacional de Rosário. The purpose is to offer elements for a reflection on a conception of long-distance education, as an adequate and efficient modality of education, aiming at enabling a teaching with quality to a determined clientele. The course was developed in three moments: video-conference, long-distance didactic activities and a seminar. The tutoring was shared by establishing the challenge of having a dialogic relation with the students. Authors believe that long-distance education is an adequate pedagogical tool to qualify nurses who have no access to traditional graduate studies. Therefore it enables the qualification of a greater number of nurses, geographically dispersed, who are unable to scape from the routine of their personal and professional lives. Facing the need to form the country's nursing workers and qualify nurses to act as teachers, long-distance learning is an effective and possible pedagogical strategy.
Continuing medical education (CME) on the Internet has grown steadily over the past several years. However, the quality of Web-based CME has received limited attention in the medical literature, and there have been few attempts to articulate quality standards. This article describes five sets of standards published in the distance education literature and explores whether the standards might be used to inform and enhance approaches to designing and delivering Web-based CME programs. Standards synthesize practical knowledge, best practices, and research findings. They vary in their perspectives on quality, fall short of being comprehensive, and convey many elements that apply to Web CME. We conclude that published standards in the distance education literature can provide valuable guidance to Web CME providers, and there is a clear need for additional research into questions about what works in Web-based education and why.
