Abstract

This work is about Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences and the possibilities provided by the education model known as open and distance learning. Open and distance learning exceeds traditional teaching practice, meeting the needs of those students who have different forms of cognitive understanding and learning style. This tool has in itself the potential to build knowledge collectively. The conclusions make open and distance learning not just a mere tool for education, but a means to reach new levels of comprehension, reflecting on the role of education itself.
