Abstract

The intention of this text is to expose some discussions on the production of virtual knowledge that has been developing through distance-Learning education-EaD. For this purpose analyzed the geographical categories time/space from the perspective of historical materialism. The main objective is to contribute to the development of concepts, understanding and finding ways to bring the practice of science in the light of geographical events and technological perspective, the new epistemological constructions from the practice of geographic education online. In this sense, is reflected on the ICT-Information technologies, with a view to drawing up arguments to support the doctoral research issue, Abordagens epistemológicas sobre a Geografia virtual no norte de Minas Gerais, which is being developed at the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia- MG. Without exhaustive, this approach uses time/space analysis developed in some works of Milton Santos and, from post-modern condition of David Harvey. Through this analysis it was possible to reflect new perceptions of time/space that appear instantly in the virtual networks from the current transformations of society.
