Um olhar além das páginas: diretrizes para o design de recursos educacionais abertos no formato de livro digital. Orientadora: Dra. Célia Maria de Araújo. 2025. 152f. Dissertação (Mestrado Profissional em Inovação em Tecnologias Educacionais) - Instituto Metrópole Digital, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2025.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/64208This research aimed to systematize a set of editorial guidelines for the production of open educational resources in digital book (e-book) format, with the goal of didactically structuring knowledge in publishing and enhancing the editorial production of the Publishing Department of the Distance Education Secretariat at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. The theoretical framework is grounded in studies on Open Educational Resources, distance education, open education policies, graphic, editorial, and interface design, as well as the significance of books and educational materials in the digital age. To delve deeper into the topic, a Systematic Literature Mapping was conducted, revealing significant gaps in the field. The research adopted a qualitative approach, applied in nature, classified as exploratory and descriptive in terms of objectives, and characterized as documentary and bibliographic regarding methodological procedures. The guidelines were obtained through Content Analysis (Bardin, 2011), carried out in four stages: organization, coding, categorization, and inference. This process resulted in an initial set of 561 guidelines, which, after being interpreted and grouped, were reduced to 134. These guidelines were subsequently evaluated by eight experts in digital book layout, using the Content Validity Index (CVI) as a validation instrument. Following this evaluation, the number of guidelines was consolidated into 128, systematically organized into seven categories related to editorial design. As the final product of the research, a practical guide was developed in the form of an e-book, containing these guidelines to assist layout designers and design students in the production of open educational resources in digital book format, contributing to the professionalization of the field and the strengthening of open education. After the study, it is concluded that the systematization of editorial guidelines for OER is essential, especially in a context where there is a large volume of content lacking adequate educational quality. Well-defined guidelines can help ensure the visual quality of the material by enhancing clarity in graphic communication, as well as guaranteeing elements such as visual clarity and aesthetic consistency in the presentation of the content.pt-BRAcesso AbertoDesign editorialRecursos Educacionais AbertosDiretrizesmasterThesisCIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO
