Abstract

One of the important changes that the UTPL´s Open and Distance System pedagogical model (1998-1999) introduces is that instead of the texts (compilations) done by the tutors of each subject, conventional books are chosen. However, even though they are updated and the best that can be found on the market, they are not designed for distance teaching and learning. This is why the Didactic Guide becomes a key component for our model, because it brings the study material close to students, making the best use of its positive attributes and overcoming its limitations. The Didactic Guide is a valuable tool complementing and making the basic text more dynamic. It is done using creative didactic strategies that simulate the presence of the tutor and generate a dialogue in order to offer students different possibilities to improve their understanding and the self-study process.
