The Master in
Learning and Teaching Technologies

aims to equip students with in-depth knowledge in the field of educational technologies and to provide training in the creation of digital environments that meet the needs of the target audience and context. The program of study therefore includes a solid foundation of theoretical and applied knowledge regarding the types of learning and teaching encountered today, the different types of digital environments (multimedia, video games, collaborative Web, digital fabrication) and the elements of digital creation (web languages, authoring tools, prototyping software). Students have the possibility of putting their new knowledge to practical use in the framework of one or more internships.
A particularity of the Master's program is alternating between traditional courses and periods of distance learning, supported by intense tutoring and a project-based approach. This is intended to help students understand the specificities of this new form of teaching and learning by experiencing it themselves throughout their training.

The Master's program is open to holders of a Bachelor's degree in any field whose experiences and goals are aligned with the objectives of the Master's program (admission is based on an application). Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to implement and evaluate e-learning tools, create innovative learning environments, or even manage multimedia educational projects for businesses, educational institutions, and consulting firms. They will also have the possibility of pursuing a doctorate in the field.
