Online teaching in interdisciplinary training courses in rehabilitation and training - an experience report

We have been practicing and researching Online Education for many years, but we could never imagine that, from one day to the next, or people would be learning teaching by digital technologies so effectively. There is a whole didactic conception and study and learning that involves structure, content, training and that ranges from the initial didactic design appropriate to the characteristics of the specific knowledge area to the evaluations of student learning, performed by a trained multidisciplinary team. There is no denying that online education is an improvement caused by technology, which breaks geographical barriers and is capable of bringing quality education to the four corners of the world. Not only people interested in learning, but professors and professionals from the most diverse areas have discovered the potential of this niche market and invest in creating online courses as their own enterprise and as a way to reach a larger audience. About 30 years of research, including that of the U.S. Department of Education, have found no evidence that online learning is qualitatively inferior to that obtained in a traditional classroom. What is simple to conclude is that, as in the classroom, the quality of learning and the potential of the knowledge acquired depends on the interest and effort of the student.
