In its relentless efforts to improve the quality of education and enhance the learning process, the New Educational Technologies Unit (UNTE) at Saint-Joseph University of Beirut (USJ) organized its first EduTech Café meeting on Wednesday March 30, at 4 p.m.

Ce carrefour numérique vise à permettre aux enseignants, chercheurs et administratifs de la communauté USJ d’échanger et de réfléchir autour de l’innovation dans l’enseignement et l’apprentissage. C’est dans ce sens que cette première EduTech a regroupé un bon nombre d’enseignants et de chercheurs. Ainsi, l’intervention de Dr. Eliana El-Khoury, professeure assistante à l’Université Athabasca du Canada, s’inscrit dans le domaine de l’éducation ouverte et à distance. Diverses thématiques ont été abordées : le rôle des technologies éducatives dans les méthodes alternatives d’évaluation des étudiants, le travail sur le terrain, la création de e-portfolio, la conception d’études de cas, l’évaluation multimodèle ainsi que l’usage des réseaux sociaux et des ressources éducatives libres (REL) dans des contextes éducatifs différents.

Though investment in Educational technologies has been increasing, learning and outcomes as a result have not changed considerably in many countries. The first EduTech Café, is born out of necessity of switching from traditional methods of assessment to alternative strategies in various educational contexts, and this marks the beginning of a series of other works and meetings within the context of the development of a more innovative culture in evaluation.
