Abstract

This study explores the organization and retrieval of information in collaborative web environments, in the practice of research for educational purposes, presenting in the Arquigrafia image platform’s as an object of study. From the perspective of information science, it considers the active and collaborative participation of users, who create, share and use web content as a source of information to search and retrieve digital information. Based on a bibliographic survey, this exploratory research studies the use of the collaborative digital image platform Arquigrafia and its reach as a teaching and research tool and proposes an analysis based on the survey of how educational research is carried out on the web. Considers that searching and retrieving information on the web, carried out autonomously, must consider the relevance and effectiveness of the results; and the collaborative tendency towards the development of research for educational purposes, requires strategies of analysis and criticality in relation to the organization of information and the sources of information used.
