Design of the First Online Pedagogy Course in a Bilingual Perspective Brazilian Sign Language-Portuguese

ABSTRACT:

This paper contextualizes the design process of the first online Bilingual Pedagogy course in Brazilian Sign Language and Portuguese. This initiative resulted from the Brazilian Federal Government's demand for bilingual pedagogy courses as part of the National Plan for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In the present paper, we highlight the political-pedagogical principles that guided this course, the dynamics surrounding the propositions of collaborative online education and the specificities of deaf people. Our goal is to develop a creative locus where interactions between deaf and non-deaf students is catalyzed by a circle of culture.
