New e-learning platform for the Institut Pasteur

A new platform for e-learning has just been launched at the Institut Pasteur.

This platform will allow for the in-house development of Small Private Online Courses (SPOC), and will be open for the whole Institut Pasteur community. The platform is based on the open source openedX standard already used by other institutions. Through this platform, teachers can include textbooks, grading, videos and any other kind of material to develop a very powerful yet easy to manage course. A SPOCs call for applications will be announced in the coming weeks. . Some of the courses already done in-person can be converted into an online course through this platform, allowing the students to follow the courses at their own pace. Courses can then run several times a year.
