This work brings elements Monograph of the pedagogical project of the Education Course/EaD/UFSM. Given the educational policies of the Brazilian government, which from the guidelines of the National Education Plan - PNE and Plan of Educational Development - PDE outlined goals to ensure access to public higher education in Brazil, for it created the Open University Brazil - UAB. In the first chapter we address the major legislation that formalized the rules of the Open University of Brazil - Decree 5.622/05 and 5.800/06 highlighting its relevance to current social and political context. In this same chapter we highlight the implementation of distance education as a means of teaching the Law of Directives and Bases of National Education LDB/96, as well as the resolutions that defined it as continuous mode in the Brazilian educational system. In the second chapter we present reflections on the pedagogical and implementation of the Education Course/EaD/UFSM. Moreover, we point to the avoidance by the number of students enrolled in different semesters of course offerings through three ongoing, at the first offer of 280 freshmen in the first half of 2008 until the second half of 2010, 68 escaped representing 24.28% . In the second offering of 260 students enrolled in the first half of 2009 until the second half of 2010, 30 escaped totaling 21.15%. And the third offering of 177 pupils enrolled in the first half of 2010 until the second half of 2010, escaped 2008 totaling 4.51%. The final consideration of the work they seek to balance the theoretical aspects of the system UAB with the practical management of the course, bringing thoughts on political and social issues in order to envision possibilities for Higher Education. Therefore, we believe we are contributing to the possible alternatives in the process of implementation and management courses in the distance mode offered by the Federal University of Santa Maria.
