Learning unit contents

Three sessions are devoted to a detailed analysis of the digital information processing. This analysis is achieved through a mixture of theoretical introductions, exercises collection materials and examples from the experience of participants and summaries.
Four sessions are devoted to individual or group activities to educational purpose, presentation of the work linked with them and debates

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The course aims to help the student to quickly control any ICT tool or service which would seem relevant to integrate into educational scenarios.
The student will be able to:

  • identify invariant concepts and principles of a category of ICT tools and services dedicated to a particular digital information processing;
  • imagine operational objectives, activities and assessment in relation to the acquisition of each of these concepts and principles;
  • build, for students and from these invariant elements, a description of the ICT tool or service;
  • analyze a device dedicated to ICT skills through its operational objectives, activities and evaluation proposed.
