Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University is proud to participate in the INCLUDE project: “The inclusion of learners in higher education: using digital transformation to cultivate diversity by transcending spatial, temporal and cognitive barriers”, which has just been awarded a budget of 7 million euros over three years as part of the ANR's “DemoEs” call for expressions of interest.

Coordinated by Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University – in partnership with six other institutions on the Lyon Saint-Etienne site (Lyon 3, Lyon 2, Saint-Etienne, ENS, INSA, Centrale), partners from the socio-economic ecosystem and local authorities – the aim of this project is to support inclusive digital technology that ensures the accessibility of training courses for the benefit of people who have difficulty attending courses, including students who are exempt from attendance or who have a disability. This objective is in line with the policy implemented at Lyon 3, and in particular with the 2021-26 institutional project.
 

About the project

By drawing on digital techno-pedagogies and the massive training-for-trainers plan, the INCLUDE project aims to create a more accessible learning environment and to enrich the repertoire of pedagogical and teaching practices, both synchronous and asynchronous, in order to offer learners personalised curricula, adapted to their specific needs, enabling them to acquire knowledge and skills and to express their abilities.

The challenge is also to be able to establish a relationship between the assessment of learning in all its forms and a level of competence, within the framework of an educational continuum from university entrance, to graduation and beyond.
