This paper presents briefly the actions conducted in the formation process and established partnerships to achieve the pioneering educational process of Distance Education (DE) courses of the State University of Londrina (UEL-PR). The methodological design was developed according to the Qualitative Approach of Action-Research type that prioritizes the development and analysis of the process along with the "meaning" that people give to things and your life than actually the product itself. The data collected through questionnaires at the end of the course signal impressions (positive and constructive criticism) we received and the meanings experienced teacher students (testimonials, chats, discussion forums, projects) in the courses offered. The experience lived in these three courses: Virtual Learning Environment (60 hours); Tutoring in distance education (60 hours) and Teaching Materials in Distance Education (60 hours), from its conception to its actual conclusion, make us think that we are on the right way and by TDIC, new horizons may open up to the institution in short- and medium-term.
