Brazil and Argentina: interaction in the virtual world and education (initial and continuing) of Spanish teachers

In order to generate data, there was an intervention of formative character, which happened by means of an online course - via Moodle Platform - whose participants were sixteen Brazilians in continuing education, who teach the Spanish Language in public schools belonging to the regional nucleus of the city of Apucarana, and sixteen Argentinians from Córdoba National University (UNC) in initial education.

The data generated were analyzed taking into consideration the genres as psychological instruments of mediation (SCHNEUWLY, 2010) and the interaction responsible for fostering learning (VIGOTSKI, 1994; 2002). The results indicate that interaction, both among tutor/participants and participant/participants, mediated by the virtual forum, and associated to the other resources available at Moodle, can lead to the learning of the proposed content.
