TEACHING LIBRAS IN UFMG: MORE THAN A VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE
Abstract
The course on “Fundamentos de Libras” was created in compliance with the 5.626/2005 Decree, which establishes Libras as a mandatory subject in teacher training courses, and Pedagogy and Speech Therapy degrees. Thus, in this article we aim to describe our involvement on planning and developing this course; including its deployment history. We also describe the interface and the pedagogical proposal developed throughout our experience with different classes. Finally, we present student profiles and their course evaluation, in addition toa reflection on what has been achieved so far and possible changes for the future.
