Abstract

The aim of this article is to discuss preliminary results of a project whose goal is to analyze the use of Digital Technology (DT) in undergraduate mathematics courses offered by the Open University of Brazil (UAB). We present a partial analysis of nine of the 37 institutions that were offering the course in 2013. This is a qualitative study with inductive analysis. The analysis points to some differences among courses. We used different colors to identify three types of use of DT in each institution: intense, initial and intermediate. However, we identified nuances that inhibit distinct classifications, as some institutions presented aspects characteristic of more than one type of usage. With this paper we aim to understand how DT is being used in mathematics courses as well as understanding the constitution of UAB in its partnerships with institutions across Brazil, including regional characteristics.
