With the intention to collaborate in the struggle to reduce
global education gap and enrich the learning process, seeks
to support the educational community to find those resources
and materials that meet their needs for teaching and learning,
through a collaborative system of specialized search and
social tools.
Aware of the advances in technology worldwide and the
hundreds of new resources that are published each day on
the Internet, the way we see the world has changed, this also
has a significant impact on education, both in the way of
learning as in the way of teaching. It is a reality that
information is available in massive and exponential way,
mainly through digital media on the Internet. The vast majority
of the times, information is accessed freely without any filter,
raising questions about its authenticity, validity, and reliability.
