Writing, Virtual Learning Environment, Multimodality, Compositional aspectsAbstract
In this text, we analyze academic and digital literacy practices developed by participants of a specialization course in Language and Technology (LINTEC). We adopted an ethnography perspective oriented by a New Literacy Studies research approach to examine how the Facebook forum of a lato sensu postgraduate course was used as a Virtual Learning Environment (AVA, in Portuguese) in the course New Literacies. The analysis of the writing production conditions in this training context evidenced compositional aspects of a discussion forum in which the sequentiality and temporality of the shifts (postings), the formal and informal registration of the Portuguese language and the use of multimodal resources stand out.
