CARDOSO, Eduardo Luís; PIMENTA, Pedro    PEREIRA, Duarte Costa. Adopção de Plataformas de e-Learning nas Instituições de Ensino Superior - modelo do processo. []. , 9, pp.173-193. ISSN 1645-9911.

Learning environments (LE), based in e-learning plataforms (eLP), have been presented with the potential to foster innovation and development in the teaching activitiy, at higher education institutions (HEI), supporting pedagogical contemporaneous approaches. In this context, constructivists learning environments, represent a general reference model for the design and development of learning environments in HEI. The research work was based in a case study. The data allowed a systematic and progressive refining of the research question and an analysis and interpretation process. A detailed model was proposed for the analysis and understanding of these processes of adoption and use of ICT in higher education, evidencing and caracterising its institutional context and the mutual influences between the innovation process and the context.
