Abstract
This article describes the experience of a didactics course for university teachers which attempted to generate learning materials useful for the learning process. Such materials originated from the human interaction occurring within a forum of online discussion in a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). The rather promising results point towards new possibilities of learning in collaborative interactive processes, taking into account aspects that influence the interactions, such as culture, power, and teacher identity.
