The question that guided the research was to understand whether is possible a process of coordination between teachers and tutors towards a shared teaching. Had as main objectives: ( 1 ) To understand how teachers and tutors realize the work they do in EaD and which experiences are most significant in this context. ( 2 ) To understand how to characterize the functions of each in the EaD process, identifying approaches and possible tensions present in their work. ( 3 ) Identify which knowledge mobilize or would be deployed to a shared teaching. ( 4 ) To analyze whether there impacts of the subject area of the course in the forms of organization and relationships that characterize each course. The methodology, based on the principles of qualitative research, used the triangulation of data from semi-structured interviews and institutional documents. Authors such as Belloni (2009), Bogdan and Biklein (1994) , Cunha ( 2005, 2006, 2010) , Damiani (2008), Imbernón (1997), Kenski (2013) and Sennett (2012) help the theorizing of the study. Counted with the participation of seven teachers, four of the Pedagogy course and three of the Administration course. Participants are also six tutors, three on each course. The data revealed the importance of promoting dialogue between all those involved in the process to prevent or reduce the segmentation of tasks in EaD. The collaborative work and shared teaching are highlighted as factors that may contribute to the work and continuing education. The recognition of the emergence of continuing education appears as a major factor for the development of teaching.
