DiLCoS, a Distance Learning Collaborative System, and Eduline, a virtual learning environment: a possible production DiLCoS, Sistema Colaborativo de Ensino a Distância, e Eduline, um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem: uma produção possível

**** Abstract: This study aims at presenting DiLCoS, its composition and inspiring source for Eduline. Based on a virtual communal learning system conception, Eduline has been developed by a multidisciplinary team, considering users needs and expectations. Its implementation is progressive and its space for knowledge construction is based on educational strategies and specific field competence building. DiLCoS multidisciplinary communal teamwork conception inspired Eduline creators at FACCAT College according to global trends. As a result, POPEs - a bimodal Portuguese for Foreigners course - has been offered to the foreign community in Taquara, RS, and region. Different teaching, evaluation strategies are required, with other possibilities and competences in learning, favouring written productions throughout interactions registered in Eduline communication tools. Implications to Education, some advances and limitations, are here discussed.
