PARREIRA, Maria João Horta. Education beyond the pandemic: The interactive documentary as a hybrid learning opportunity. Sinéctica [online]. 2022, n.58, e1327.  Epub May 23, 2022. ISSN 2007-7033.  https://doi.org/10.31391/s2007-7033(2022)0058-007.

This exploratory research applies a transdisciplinary perspective between the fields of education, science communication, design, journalism, and emergent technologies, exploring the interactive documentary (i-doc) as a proposal to open horizons for new techniques and practices that can improve education and the planning of communicative relations between people, digital objects, and real life. Articulating storytelling, gaming, and multimodality, one prototype is produced, and its respective proof of concept is carried out in two classes: Biology and Geology students from a regular secondary school and Journalism students from the university level, being the respective teachers involved in the process. Action-research is applied within several techniques as bibliographic review, questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, participation observation and focus group, to test and evaluate the inherent proposal. The results are favorable to the usefulness and viability of the idea, and it will be interesting to investigate in a more systematic way, to better understand the opportunities in the intersection between science, technology, and art, which stimulate the production and usefulness of hybrid learning opportunities.

Keywords : education; interactive documentary; hybrid learning opportunities; technological challenges.
