Resumo
Internet-based Distance Education in Brazil, featuring the institution and progress of undergraduate and post-graduate courses in Visual Arts is provided. Current article focuses on the Open University of Brazil and the Pro-Graduation Programs developed by the Brazilian federal government. Exploratory qualitative methodology is foregrounded on data produced by teaching institutions and by the Brazilian Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC). Current investigation will be an asset within the broadening of research in the educational area, inclusion and qualification of professionals in Education, and in the supply of new proposals and suggestions. Main results comprise the pioneering stance of the University of Brasília (UnB) which articulates arts and technology in the training of Arts teachers from the initial courses in Education up to post-graduate ones.
