Resumen
This article aims to critically review the
regulatory frameworks that guided the institutionalization
of distance education (DE)
course offerings in higher education institutions
in Brazil, taking as a reference 50 (fifty)
documents which were analyzed for the research
titled Expansion of Higher Education
pos-LDB 96. The need for systematization of
DE, legitimated by this Act (LDB-96), proved
to be part of the guidelines of international
agencies as a strategy for expansion of higher
education and that the first initiatives of the
Brazilian government were associated with
the use of technology in education. A contextualized
analysis of regulatory frameworks
showed, initially, the quantitative and massified
explosion of DE, without the state having
proper instruments for its effective regulation.
From 2005, new regulatory acts and the creation
of the Open University of Brazil seek to
maintain this expansion without losing quality.
