In addition to courses at undergraduate and graduate lato sensu levels, Distance Learning at UFES assists and supports research activities and knowledge dissemination in some Stricto Sensu Graduate Programs and the Institutional Scientific Initiation Program.
Distance Education disseminates knowledge to all regions of the state, training professionals in the different areas of human knowledge and providing them with means of better thinking and organizing the development of the regions of this State. EAD is an important and effective instrument for democratizing access to education, establishing itself, increasingly, as an option of quality education that serves a considerable population and, at times, historically unassisted, without which would not have the opportunity to access training at a higher level or at a level of improvement and post-graduation.
In addition to the courses, conventional didactic resources are mixed with those coming from information and knowledge technologies. For this purpose, printed materials and didactic guides are used, but also, and mainly, the media resources and those made possible by the Internet, in particular the teaching platforms, forums, chat rooms, e-mail, discussion groups, blogs, virtual portfolios, videoconferencing, Web conferencing, DVDs, MP3s, technical visits to companies, among others.
UFES 'distance education proposal aims, above all, to introduce the University, more and more, into the culture of Open and Distance Education and in the use of New Communication and Information Technologies in the external and internal training spaces, in order to radiate, increasingly and better, education that is of quality, capable of developing the regions of the State and improving the quality of life of its current inhabitants and future generations.
PPGE has been actively participating in distance activities, either by coordinating such activities or by the participation of students, graduates and teachers. It should be noted that since 2008, 8000 students have been trained in the Distance Education course.
Currently, more systematically and under the responsibility of PPGE teachers, we have the following distance learning activities / courses. All have the participation of professors, students and alumni, in addition to undergraduate students, especially undergraduates.
Lato Sensu Specialization Course in Rural Education NEAD / UFES
The Lato Sensu Specialization Course in Rural Education involves partnerships between UFES and the Department of Continuing Education, Literacy and Diversity of the Ministry of Education / SECAD / MEC, State Secretariat of Education of Espírito Santo - SEDU, Municipal Education Departments, social movements and organized civil society entities. It was approved by SECAD / MEC in the first semester of 2008 (SECAD Edital no. 1 of 04/16/2008 - Public call for selection of higher education institutions to implement the Education for Diversity Network within the scope of the Open University of Brazil system - UAB). It is financed by the National Education Development Fund - FNDE.

Unfortunately, this picture reminds us of peasant populations, including mainly family farming workers (Agrarian Reform settlements, quilombolas, indigenous people, Pomeranians, among others).
It is one of the projects developed in the Continuing Education Program for Rural Teachers developed by the Education Center / UFES. The central objective is to promote affirmative policies for the valorization of peasant territories, traditional peoples who live on the land, with the rescue of identities and knowledge of the land.
This specialization course lasts 18 months, culminating in the production of monographic work by each of the students, investigating issues of teaching practice and / or educational management in different rural contexts.

22 face-to-face tutors b) 11 distance tutors. This is mostly alumni of undergraduate and master's and / or doctoral courses at UFES. It is worth mentioning that at least 50% of these tutors are former students of PPGE / UFES and / or are studying for a doctorate;
Approximately 30 CE / UFES professors and / or external guests.
There are several dissertations (at least 3) and theses (at least 2) being developed from this work carried out by UFES / SECAD and other institutions.
