Abstract(s)
A tripolaridade da Universidade dos Açores, caracterizada por campus físicos e instalações próprias tem-se mostrado economicamente inviável, socialmente injusta e ao mesmo tempo insuficiente para permitir o atendimento de todas as nove ilhas do arquipélago. A localização em uma região ultraperiférica da União Europeia não garante uma discriminação positiva. A solução pode estar em uma mudança de paradigma, baseada em uma estrutura decapolar e através de parcerias estabelecer polos regionais, pontos de presença e um campus virtual.
ABSTRACT: The tripolarity of the University of the Azores, characterised by three campuses and facilities has been shown to be economically unviable, socially unjust and at the same time insufficient to allow the attendance of all nine islands of the archipelago. The location in an outermost region of the European Union does not guarantee a positive discrimination. The solution might lie in a paradigm shift, based on a decapolar structure and through partnerships establish regional clusters, points of presence and a virtual campus.

Description
The paper draws on findings from the research “Implementation Strategies and Development of an Open and Distance Education System for the University of the Azores”, funded by the European Social Fund. The main objective of this research was to observe the recent events related to likely paradigm shift in the educational area and propose to UAC the adoption of solutions that can, at the same time, correct implementations already carried out in previous experiments and respond to these new challenges. http://hdl.handle.net/10400.3/2327
