Abstract

Digital platforms for offering online courses in the IT area have made professional qualification processes more dynamic and flexible, contributing to the dissemination of technical knowledge in the area of Information Technology. This research aims to identify existing perceptions in the literature about online platforms for offering courses for training in the IT area, based on a reflection on online platforms for technological learning and a systematic mapping of literature. The theoretical framework included discussions about techniques and principles adopted in bibliographic reviews and reflections on the main platforms that offer IT courses in Brazil. The methodological procedures adopted consisted of defining criteria for selecting academic texts and applying keywords in systematic cycles in search engines to compose a corpus to be analyzed qualitatively. The data obtained indicate that the platforms have different business models, limitations, potentialities and target audiences, and that there is little Research addressing their characteristics in depth. Based on the results and discussions presented, there is a need for more research addressing these tools in order to promote their use in a broader, more grounded and critical way, thus contributing to the formation of qualified labor in the IT area.
