Pédagogie et recherche

Pedagogy and research

In order to promote its visibility and reputation both nationally and internationally, UPHF cooperates with its partner universities on cross-disciplinary projects related to educational innovation and the use of digital technology for the success of its students.

EURO-TELL

Le projet EURO-TELL, présenté par l'Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France (UPHF) et la Fédération Universitaire Pluridisciplinaire de Lille (FUPL), avec le soutien des partenaires de l'Université européenne EUNICE, a été sélectionné dans le cadre de l'appel à projets «ExcellenceS sous toutes ses formes».

Il s’agit d’un projet basé sur les objets de transition.

Pour agir dans la transition pour un monde durable, avec éthique et responsabilité, agilité et efficacité, EURO-TELL propose un modèle cohérent et inter-relié sous la forme d’un écosystème. Se basant sur les forces du consortium, celui-ci est constitué de trois Hubs thématiques de la transition (Silver Society and disability - Humanly smart city, territories and mobility - Industry of the future for a positive impact on the environment and humanity) croisés avec des facteurs de sens (éthique, discours, sens - patrimoine, territoire, espace - usages, normes, risques) : à ces trois Hubs sont rattachées trois Graduate Schools interdisciplinaires européennes et un Think-to-Do-Lab inspiré du modèle des Think Tanks. L’écosystème impliquera ainsi les différents acteurs du territoire (entreprises, collectivités locales et territoriales, associations…).

Le niveau d’expertise en formation, innovation et recherche sur les thématiques stratégiques permettra de tendre progressivement à un champ d’application et de réflexion fondée sur la résolution des problèmes relatifs aux objets de transition. Ces derniers sont des artefacts physiques ou symboliques qui appellent une problématique complexe. Co-élaborés par les parties prenantes, en lien avec la thématique des hubs, ils feront l’objet du projet de recherche et d’innovation des étudiants, d’enseignements complémentaires orientés objet, et ils seront à la base d’initiatives de recherche interdisciplinaire intitulées « "DC3T"(Dynamic Cross-Topic Teams for Transition) ». Pour asseoir ces GS d’un type nouveau, Euro-TELL développe trois types de masters par GS : un Master européen de recherche (MER), un Master européen projet personnel et professionnel (ME3P) et un Master sensibilisation et certification (MSC), de même que deux doctorats : un doctorat européen de recherche et un doctorat européen professionnel. L’offre de formation et la recherche qui y est associée se veulent agiles et évolutives, en s’appuyant sur un couple conceptuel inédit : « Sustain » / « Expand ». Cela permet non seulement de s’adapter rapidement aux changements, mais aussi de susciter l’adhésion des Chercheurs, Enseignants et Enseignants-Chercheurs : le concept « Sustain » permet d’assurer, voire de renforcer le socle disciplinaire, alors que le concept « Expand » favorise un ajustement de la formation et de la recherche en fonction des objets de transition définis.

Résolument tourné vers l’Europe, le modèle EURO-TELL vise la reconnaissance de la diplomation européenne, de micro-crédits et de la FTLV.

La construction de cet écosystème différenciant est particulièrement exigeante et n'est possible que dans une optique "glocale" (Think globally, act locally), avec des universités résolument ouvertes sur le monde, tout en exerçant un rôle actif dans le développement de leur territoire. EURO-TELL propose donc un modèle d'avenir, d’une part, pour construire l’alliance de site UPHF-FUPL, et, d’autre part, pour permettre aux universités de taille moyenne, de faire rayonner leur excellence scientifique et leurs innovations pédagogiques de façon à agir avec les territoires au cœur des transitions pour un monde durable.

PRELUDE

The PRéLUDE project (Parcourses for Resuccess in Licence Uto Dexperiential development) implements the Student Plan of Madame Minister, Frédérique Vidal.

It proposes both a diploma and an undergraduate training model that allows students (in initial training, continuing education or FTLV) to be actors in their project by co-designing their degree course: "I am the designer of my course". Based on the possibilities offered by the LMD system (modularization, management of rhythms, certifications), the progression is done by capitalization and certifications. 

This approach makes it possible to switch from a license by program to a license by skills and by project.  This leads to three types of pathways (Disciplinary License - LD, multidisciplinary license personal project - L3P, a degree  university personal project - DU3P).  An intelligent platform for success support  "I-Parcours" will offer all the emerging digital services necessary for student support and guidance, intelligent construction of courses, massive data processing for the detection of course needs, analysis of student traces to improve recommendation, the principle of blockchain for certification and validation of skills.

SAMI

The health situation has placed universities in unprecedented contexts of acceleration by exposing the process of hybridization of instruction as an appropriate response to the many challenges of pedagogical continuity for undergraduate students with a particular focus on first-year students.

The "System of Mediated and Immersive Activities" (SAMI) project proposes a response that is both contributory to national initiatives and at the same time innovative on the creation of immersive and virtual content based on a novel OMO (Online Merge Offline) articulation for teaching. The latter will strengthen the "face-to-face" articulation by placing learning in the same educational context, a lever to promote teacher-student links and student success in a context of training hybridization.

.

To respond to this, the SAMI project proposes a model on 3 dimensions:

  • the provision and creation of content (digital resources, Mooc) by ensuring their digital accessibility (informational dimension);
  • the creation of a device of spheres of interactivity to create and accompany hybrid teaching and learning activities: teacher-teacher sphere,teacher-student,student-student(interactive dimension);
  • the creation of a collaborative environment for editing virtual and immersive content that can feed the national programs in the form of TD and TP (immersive dimension).

The SAMI project, supported by an Observatory of Digital and Pedagogical Transformation, will then propose new forms of activities and pedagogical experiences that will allow ESR actors to engage in an innovative way in the new hybrid paths.

PEIA (Platform for Immersive Learning Experiences)

The project PEIA  (Platform of Immersive Experiences Learning) is among those of the 14 universities and three schools that won the AMI "Digital Demonstrators in Higher Education" (DemoES).

With this ambitious project, UPHF is committed to meeting new challenges, both in pedagogy and research, for higher education and is pursuing the transformation of more inclusive digital teaching practices, via collaborative virtual and realistic environments. 

The PEIA project will thus propose the development of an Open Source Immersive Learning Management System (I-LMS). This will lead to the creation of an immersive and learning community, with experiences and learning in persistent worlds.
