Collaborative Technologies for Knowledge Management with e-Research Training

Teacher immersed in the information society, has transformed their roles and competencies in the educational and research space as part of their work. The teacher evolves from the figure of e-learning, to the producer teacher, where research is mediated by the collaborative web (e-research). The present research aims to characterize the collaborative technologies used by teachers in higher education of the faculty of education at the University of Aveiro. The methodology is qualitative with the use of focal groups, where the instrument of measurement is the interview that allows knowing points of view and arguments. The analysis carried out was one by analysis and emergent categories that allow contrasting: members of the research groups, the need to train teachers-producers and the impact that technologies could have on higher education.
