Paper Abstract:	The objective of this work is to understand the relations between university coordinators of undergraduate courses and technologies in digital culture. The context of the research is a private university, looking at seven coordinators of undergraduate courses and their relations with technologies in digital culture. It is part of a larger research project also involving teachers and students. At this time, focusing on the coordinators, we used online questionnaire available on google drive and interviews. The two instruments focused on: personal information; initial and ongoing training processes; teaching performance; relationships between teachers / coordinators / students / computers / internet; and, pedagogical appropriations. The produced data show the coordinators’awareness about the huge universe of information available by the digital context and about their challenge of gradually integrating more technologies into their management and also teaching activities. We emphasize that the coordinators pointed as important not only technical issues related to internet access as well as its speed, but also the necessity of different ways of appropriations of technologies looking at new and more qualitative proposals of management and teaching and learning. The research has revealed aspects that deserve expanding continuing education in order to create conditions among university coordinators, teachers and students for establishing dialogues and spaces about education with technologies, influenced by this new digital culture that reflects directly on different education in contemporary times.
