Abstract

This work aims to present the elaboration process of the e-book Manual for the elaboration of the conclusion work of the undergraduate course: guidelines for the students of the course of letters of the State University of Maranhão, Itapecuru Mirim campus. This study is necessary because it highlights the importance of the digital book as a more accessible resource for the dissemination of knowledge. To develop this research, we resorted mainly to the Rules of UEMA's undergraduate courses (2019) and to materials that deal with the emergence and modes of production of an e-book. Throughout the work, we will make use of concepts such as academic literacy, multisemiosis, and hypertextuality. Our methodology results in a qualitative research, that is, it is based on the interpretation of an experience. Our data shows the production stages of the aforementioned e-book, detailing the importance of each of these stages and the care required during the process of creating this type of material. In view of the above, we can affirm the relevance of digital tools in the production and dissemination of academic knowledge.
