			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a <a title="E-Learning in Brazil (in Portuguese)" href="http://www.educacaoadistancia.blog.br/ensino-a-distancia-cresce-rapido-com-qualidade-questionada/">recent research</a>, the Brazilian Ministry of Education &#8211; <a href="http://portal.mec.gov.br/">MEC</a> &#8211; shows that E-Learning in Brazil has grown a hundred and seventy times since 2001.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blabluble.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/inep_mec.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-110" title="inep_mec" src="http://www.blabluble.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/inep_mec.jpg" alt="" width="608" height="508" /></a></p>
<p>It is not different around the world. Look at what we <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-learning">found</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>According to the Sloan Foundation reports, in the USA, there has been an increase of around 12–14 percent per year on average in enrollments for fully online learning over the five years 2004–2009 in the US post-secondary system. (&#8230;) A report by Ambient Insight Research projected that this figure would rise to 81 percent by 2014. Thus it can be seen that e-learning is moving rapidly from the margins to being a predominant form of post-secondary education, at least in the USA.</p></blockquote>
<p>The director of the University Estacio, in São Paulo, Susane Garrido, <a title="E-Learning in Brazil (in Portuguese)" href="http://www.educacaoadistancia.blog.br/ensino-a-distancia-cresce-rapido-com-qualidade-questionada/">says</a> that it is possible to grow much further in the industry, especially given the development of new technologies. &#8221;We will reach a time when we&#8217;ll no longer have face education or e-learning, they will be all the same,&#8221; she says.</p>
<p>We agree with the director. And we will make it happen.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.blabluble.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/j03997541.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-90" title="j0399754" src="http://www.blabluble.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/j03997541.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="307" /></a></p>
<p>We all here at Blabluble.com have a Bachelor degree in <a title="CIn - UFPE" href="http://www.cin.ufpe.br/" target="_blank">Computer Science from Federal University of Pernambuco</a>, Brazil. I remember that, after our first semester, how easy it was to figure out a fact: we went into one of the best Computer Science courses in Brazil.</p>
<p>Most of the students who came there didn&#8217;t waste their time, but spent mornings, nights and afternoons studying &#8211; by themselves or in groups &#8211; in order to get excellent scores. Also, I remember that people who dida not fit this profile, in some way were (naturally) cast away from the community that (naturally) arose in that environment. Because of that, between <a title="Infames!" href="http://www.infames.com.br" target="_blank">writing a song</a> and another, we really had to study hard. That was a way to remain inside the community.</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t know if this kind of pressure has a name (maybe in some areas such as Psychology), but we decided to call it <strong>Social Pressure.</strong> In fact, social or peer pressure is natural in any high school level. The more people are doing better, the more they have to strive to reach a better level.</p>
<p>Our challenge will be to bring this kind of reality into the e-learning world. And I can ensure you that we are really working hard to achieve this. Hope we&#8217;ll get it!</p>
