This article reflects on the creation and implementation of the Open University of Brazil (UAB) System. Using as background the current System's building and institutionalization process, we register the present important moment that the Brazilian public distance education program is undergoing. With this objective at sight, we highlight several important organizational structures of the UAB System, whose construction is made through a collaboration regime among Brazilian Public Higher Education Institutions and the municipal, state and federal levels of government. The UAB System focus on the initial and continuous formation of teachers all over the Brazilian territory. Within this purpose, the UAB System has contributed for the improvement and expansion of higher education in Brazil and for the establishment of quality benchmarks in the creation of distance education programs on all fields of knowledge. In order to fulfill this fundamental task, the UAB System develops the following missions: the articulation of all federal entities and the System’s promotion and evaluation.
