• Abstract:

  In Angola, there is a need to expand the supply of education, with emphasis on Higher Education, as, to date, only the face-to-face modality is in operation. This research aims to understand the perception of professors at Universidade Agostinho Neto about the implementation of distance learning in Angola, in order to contribute to initiatives to institutionalize this modality, taking into consideration, the quality of the educational process and the democratization of access to higher education. Distance Learning and its Systemic View were characterized as a theoretical framework. The Case Study and qualitative approach were used. As a result, it was found that for the institutionalization of EAD, financial sustainability and training of human resources to work in EAD is essential for the implementation process.
