I changed Academic Affairs for Pedagogy because I was afraid this would have been to general, but it's the main idea.

Dean's Office


Explanation:
Tania, I'm pretty sure it is referring to the Dean's Office. The only doubt I have is related to "Organização Pedagógica": if it is used as a synonym of Faculty/College or if it is the department in charge of Teaching/ Learning of a Faculty.
Good luck!

Tem razão, Tania! Nesse caso eu combinaria a sugestão da María Florencia com a minha:

Dean's Office for Learning Resources

Mas vamos ver o que os colegas acham...

Asker: Obrigada, Matheus, mas isto é um departamento. É reitoria. Daí a minha dúvida, parecem-me dois departamentos ligados, o que se torna um pouco confuso.

Asker: Tem lógica, mas vamos a ver. Obrigada!

Asker: Sim, tem lógica. Penso que "pro-vice-chancellor' já é um pouco exagerado.
