Supervised Internship in Academic Library from a Distance Learning Perspective

Abstract

This article introduces theoretical and practical aspects of distance learning, based on activities developed during a supervised internship in Library Science. In this respect, the objective is to analyze the technical production of interns aiming to carry a portfolio out on distance learning for an academic library. As a theoretical approach, this article discusses the multidisciplinary teams that work at distance learning, by considering some actors and roles that are involved at producing content focused on distance learning and also based on the ADDIE Model, which is an acronym for: Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. In addition to the bibliographical research on distance learning, the case study was the research method that allowed developing the case report. As results achieved, this article presents the report of the case study through developing a portfolio of activities from 2020 to 2022, whose years compound six academic semesters at the higher education institution where the research was developed. The conclusion points out the student’s performance in a supervised internship, which aimed the distance learning, was satisfactory through carrying out technical productions that became reference material at the academic library where the activities were developed.
