Building an Immersive Distance Learning Experience beyond Massive Open Online Courses with Web Conferencing, Socratic Method, Problem-Based Learning and Social Networks.

This research aimed to study and describe the different models of technology integration (platforms, environments, methodologies) in supporting distance educational practices and/or mediated by technologies; and the prospecting and identifying new opportunities that add simultaneously, video-based solutions (web conferencing), problem-based learning, social networking and Socratic method. If on one hand the ubiquity of the internet allowed the invasion of our privacy, also created a plethora of learning and work opportunities. This is how the Khan Academy got started, to provide a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. However, the involvement of customers could be stimulated through a provocative method, known as Socratic, which reflects how human cognition has been developed. Certainly is necessary a rereading, a recycling to adapt it to the needs and current technological possibilities that, so inexorable, refers to the omnipresence of videos and videoconferencing and without which all systems related to digital educational technology remain indifferent to stakeholders.
