The teaching unit "Introduction to information and communication technologies in education" (IICTE) includes five chapters:
1. Initial and continuous teachers' training in ICTE
2. Contribution of ICT in Education - Exploration of tools and services
3. Evaluation of the quality of educational software
4. Development of learning scenarios integrating ICT uses
5. Technological Research in Education

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The three main course's objectives are:

  • Using ICT in a critical and usefull way for learning purposes.
  • Mastering knowledge linked with ICT integration in Education
  • Creating pedagogical scenario including ICT in learning context
More precisely, the learner will

Assessment methods and criteria

Evaluation is based on:


  • The creation and description of a pedagogical scenario integrating ICT based on a given framework (in pairs).

Validation requests the submission of both parts. 

Work placement(s)

Work placements in educational technologies are proposed  by the CRIFA (Centre de Recherche sur l'Instrumentation, la Formation et l'Apprentissage) for students who succedded this course. 
Students can also chose a master thesis in this field of research (list of topics on demand).
