Bilingual Education E-learning Course - Brazilian Sign Language/ Portuguese

The Bilingual Education E-learning course project aims to train teachers in the bilingual perspective (Brazilian Sign Language/Portuguese Language) considering linguistic and cultural particularities of deaf people. Course implementation was done in 13 universities spread all over the country, training 390 bilingual teachers per year. Moreover, we made the commitment of developing a digital database to preserve and disseminate several educational materials related to deafness. Developing the first virtual environment totally in sign language and innovative methodology to bilingual teaching materials construction, we intend to include deaf community in Brazil’s teaching systems. The project presents several innovations, among them some outstand: I) Creation of own work methodology to elaborate bilingual teaching materials with 19 stages to the material development divided in 3 steps (pre-production, translation and post-production); II) Development of a specific VLE for deafs’ education with total surfing through sign language and tools designed for this public (Mind Map, Personal Learning Environment, Glossary, Games, Learning Objetcs, Wiki, Semantic Web, Quiz); III) Future room – system of computerized tables that can be easily moved and grouped so that classroom space fits the proposed activities, where students can work collaboratively using the same computer screen.
