ISSN: 2146-7374http://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/7357The paper draws on findings from the research ‘The Demonstration Effect for the Creation of Learning and Conversation Networks within the Realm of Creative Chaos’ funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology and presented at International Educational Technology Conference (IETC 2011)This research proposes to investigate the called demonstration effect as the more efficient method to overcoming professors resistance to the adoption of interactive technologies applied to education, as much in the support to the face-to-face and distance practices, as well as in its diverse environments and platforms, videoconferences, production, management and distribution of live and on-demand contents, exploring the spectre of collaboration opportunities that includes the independence of time, distance and equipments. Considering that the technological solutions are known and available, their effective use and its institutionalization only will be able to be obtained through presentation and the systematically repetition of a set of procedures, in domino, cascade or in chain effect, producing a set of similar events of variable duration.engConversation networksCreative chaosDemonstration effectEffective use of technology-mediated learningMotivation and technology resistancejournal article
