A word from the Vice-Rector

We returned to face-to-face teaching at the start of the autumn semester and continued experimenting with various other formats such as live streaming in mixed classes. However, the current public health circumstances force us once again to switch to distance learning, while maintaining interaction with our students.

We remain at your side to accompany you in this new transition and to support you in delivering the content of your teaching according to the pedagogical scenarios of your choosing. Our next common challenge is the preparation of the January-February 2021 exam session, which will take place mainly remotely; we are aiming to provide you with as many useful resources as possible on the Portal's dedicated pages.

Our collective experiences since the spring have enabled us to gain in skills and confidence. This Portal will remain a place to seek and find lessons learned and good practices, so that together we can continue to pursue the smoothest possible articulation between face-to-face and distance learning.
