Abstract

Through education it is possible to build a fairer and democratic society, strengthening the overcoming of social inequalities. The higher education institutions can contemporary contribute to the internationalization of education proces-ses, observing the existing demand in other countries. The aim of this paper is to present the possibilities of a private insti-tution of higher education located in Maringa - Parana - Brazil, by offering graduate courses in the distance geographically dispersed  students  around  the  world  who  speak  the  Portuguese  language.  The  presented  model  enable  students  to  attend classes, participate in activities that take place throughout the course and come to Brazil only once, at the end of the whole process, to realize tests and present an article. From the perspective of the strategies aiming internationalization, the techno-logical expansion is considered one of the most important tools to allow the globalization of education. The use of the Inter-net  in  distance  learning,  allows  the  development  of  learning  communities  in  higher  education,  that  is,  the  formation  of networks. The theoretical foundation of this study is based on Green (2008), Levy (1996, 1999), Castells (2007), Sen (2000).
