The results show the course of the legislation in distance education according to the development of Information and Communication Technologies, showing the expansion of Distance Education as of 1998 with the Law of Guidelines and Bases of Education. A process of intensification and regulation for the expansion of Distance Education in various teaching modalities at the beginning of the 21st century was highlighted, as well as a significant number of students in this modality. Finally, with the Decree No. 9.057 / 2017, there was the flexibilization and debureaucratization of distance education.

In this scenario, hybrid teaching, in which various forms physical and digital are brought together, combining collaboration (learning together) and personalization (individual pathways), according to the needs, without rigid schedules and hampered planning, while at the same time involving active participation of the student can be one of the pedagogical proposals that meets the reality of the 21st century.
