Abstract

The E-learning Project - WebCT: Center for Communication and Spatial Representation (CCRE) was developed in partnership with IRICUP, with the aim of creating an interactive space accessible via the Internet (web.ccre.arq.up.pt) that would help disseminate work considered to be of interest in the field of architecture and urbanism to the scientific community and to citizens in general about their city and its consequent transformation, requalification and preservation. The aim was to create the embryo for the development of the strategies, broadband technological support, knowledge and experience needed to research and disseminate content in the areas of architecture and urbanism via the Internet to the scientific community and civil society in general. Following on from the work carried out by the E-learning Project - WebCT, in 2013 the Jens D rup E-Learning Award, EUNIS, was awarded for the implementation of the project and program of the 1st E-Learning Café at U. Porto. Pedro Leão Neto was, together with Lígia Ribeiro, one of the people most responsible for this project, and both co-authored the paper "Learning spaces and students' entrepreneurship: the strategy for the successful implementation of an e-learning café in campus U. Porto" together with Andreia Vieira and Maria Pinto.

Pedro Leão Neto was responsible for coordinating and co-authoring the preliminary architectural design and exterior arrangements related to the themes of teaching and learning spaces, the main objectives of which were:

i) to design and build a hybrid study and socialization space focused on students and other elements of the academic community, also open to the other public, and

ii) to build an interactive space, advertising the e-learning café, working as a public forum and linked to that space.

The critical analysis of the results allowed significant conclusions to be drawn about the influence of ICT on university learning spaces. In connection with this E-Learning space, Pedro Leão Neto began research and consultancy work which was the basis of the AAI research group: Activities related to E-Learning café through the Engenho e Arte project.
