Teaching and learning processes have been strongly affected by Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). These have maximized the potential of Distance Education (DE) as an important means of teaching and learning. ICTs, especially digital media that is supported by information technology and computer networks, require a (new) repositioning where both the curriculum context and the curriculum development in DE are taken into consideration. In this article we discuss an epistemological framework which, when seen though this new academic lens, enables us to identify key aspects for developing curricula in DE. This framework considers the "curriculum" as content that is to be developed, namely the planning of educational activities and the interactive reality that underlies the distance education experience. For each of these three dimensions, we identified key aspects of the curriculum which, in our view, should be carefully considered in DE.
