Introduction

Societal targets:

Social Intervention, Construction of personal curricula Making easier for students to access education without moving. Flexibility

Need to anticipate the change that is coming.

Need to experiment on some contents and some first curricula.

Creating new types of curricula:

• Qualiticians
• New transverse functions on the associative level
• Social engineering
• Professional insertion (using mail, simple interaction with operating systems
• New modules on lower education targets
• Action research: how new modalities change the education
• Computer Science as management aid
• Information system, reporting, flow modelling, aid in practical development

From an industrial point of view:

• Turning employees into experts.
• Finalizing the formation of a newly recruited employee.
• Adaptation to new practices.
• At what cost ?
• Having a tailored curriculum adapted to what the company needs is a very good asset.
• Reduces the distance between the education world and business.

CEA:

• Role as a research center, but neither vocational center, neither an industrial.
• Contribution as a research institute.
• Intellectual property will be a problem. Which information can be diffused freely, ...
• At CEA, e-learning is a priority.
• On fundamental topics (physics, chemistry, etc,...) there should not be any problem.

Objects

• Necessity to answer to societal needs in terms of curricula.

• creating new curricula
• Developing and improving current formations
• Determining new needs.

Challenges

• Competitivity in a scientific point of view.
• Keep up with quality.
• Free formation for general knowledge
• Societal challenges: improving the education level of the population
• Keeping the leadership in social engineering.

• How to restrict visibility of courses depending on the source of funding. How to determine visibility rights

First challenge: how to share things that have an intellectual property.

• Strength of the consortium : which importance in France, positioning with distance teaching, visibility, etc...
• Lobbying.
• Coordination Action on an European Level.

This will be addressed by organising a European Conference on Education in Complex Systems.

• Validation of the proposed education.
• Developing the network of vocational centers to know where the objectives are.

• Make it possible that the contents are not modifiable.
• Where is the added value ?

Risks

• What if it works ?
• Is there a risk for the French eoonomy to make available some knowledge to all ?
• Return On Investment ?
• Will it be possible to download all contents ?

Platforms

MIT, EdX.

Possibly Amazon.com

Possible development with Abase Europe / Syntec
