The Nancy-Université (Abrev: NU) is a federation of 3 HEIs in the city of Nancy, in France. This EPCS has been created in 2007.

This federation groups the three HEIs in Nancy:


It prefigures a complete fusion of the three universities in the not too distant future. Currently a number of departments are now common to the federation. With respect to ICT, the recently created department NUTICE is responsible for educational ICT support for the three institutions.


Nancy-Université is lead by one of the president of the member institutions. François Laurent is the president of the EPCS Nancy-Université since the 6 May 2008 for a mandate of 1 year renewable. He succeed François Le Poultier.


This EPCS, public establishment, aims at regrouping the means in the service of a common policy allowing a better effectiveness and a better visibility of missions of training, research, promotion and of broadcasting of University’s know how. It leans on a Directorate, a Council of research, a Council of pedagogy and on a Commission of human resources.

A total of 40,000 students annually follow the courses in the 3 HEIs. The federation awards a total of nearly 400 diplomas that cover almost all domain of knowledge and issued around 17 000 degrees and diplomas in the year 2007. The permanent staff of the 3 establishments is made up of about 5000 people, about 2200 teachers-researchers and lecturers and about 2500 in administration.


“Nancy-Université Continuing education” NU make a commitment to Life Long Learning and offer a unique structure giving to firms, to public agencies and private and to persons a true know-how in engineering of Training. NU has experience in the following fieds: evaluation of competences, validation of knowledges and experience, individual certificate of training, trainings leading to qualification and diploma, advice and accompaniment. It offer its services to traditional learners, distance learner, into company or out of the company. Every year, either 3500 persons participate into NU life long learning activities or 530 000 hours of training.

“Numeric University” NU is a member of UNIRE network (Numeric University in Region). NU set up for all its members, staff, students, a numeric platform where they can find resources, services. This platform can be reach from all pc connected to Internet, 24h/24 everywhere. 100% of the campus is covered by WIFI.

Partnerships and exchange programmes

A lot of partnerships (regional, national and international) for this federation of universities involved in many virtual-campus, subject-oriented virtual universities. Nancy-Université is an active member of UNIRE (Université Numérique interRégionale de l’Est). To summarize it has partnerships with 155 universities in 24 European countries.

The university participates among others in the Erasmus-Mundus programme. The Erasmus-Mundus Masters are multinational educational programmes of high quality organised by consortiums of european HEIs. Nancy-Université deal with 3 masters:

  • FUSION-EP : European Master in Nuclear Fusion Science and Engineering Physics in partnership with 6 european universities.
  • AMASE : Advanced Materials Science and Engeneering Master in partnership with 3 european universties.
  • TAL : Traitement Automatique des Langues in partnership with 9 european universities.

Institution

The present

  • (1) Provide a general description of the institution in its current state, putting the e-learning into context.

Nancy-Université is a federation of 3 university of Nancy. Each university has kepp is own identity, it is not a merging. Some services were regrouped. One of the first actions within Nancy-Université was to regroup all the activities linked to ITC in education. Nancy 2 e-education activities are now considered in the context of the EPCS Nancy University via its service called NUTICE


Nancy-Universtié is composed of traditional universities offering also open and distance learning and participating in many virtual-campus initiatives. The use of ITC is a priority for the university.

The activities of NU can be summarized and organized at several level:

  • local: with the utilization of e-learning module by teacher in a blended format with traditional learning.
  • regional (virtual campus at regional scale)
  • National: (national virtual campus and thematical numeric university)
  • International: (virtual campus for multi graduating training where student realize virtual mobility in several countries).

NU’s e-learning offer is multi disciplinary.

NU offer to all staff and users un numerical work space (it was one of the 3 first French university to do it). This space gather, in function of the user profile all the necessary services he needs.

A part of the administration is done online at the university. Nancy 2 was the first french university to propose a online registration. About 15 400 students registered online in 2005-2006.

The past

Nancy-Université itself has a very short past, as it was created in 2007. The following lines describe the common or important elements that can be highlighted from the past of the 3 members universities.


  • (9) Give a narrative description of the institution's history since its foundation, concentrating on key dates, recent years and any e-learning issues.
  • The Nancy 2 university, Nancy 1 Henri Poincaré and the National Polytechnnic institute of Lorraine (Institut National Polytechnique de Lorraine (INPL)) were created in 1971 following the reform of higher education enforced by the law "Faure" (Nov. 1968).
  • 1978, saw the creation of VIDEOSCOP, an audiovisual and multimedia production centre in Nancy 2. VIDEOSCOP currently produces pedagical video programmes and multimédia materials for educational purposes in the e-campuses in which Nancy 2 is involved. These programmes are broadcast through video channels such as Canal-U. Videoscop is also the coordinator of or partner in a number of European projects, including those of the eLene group. (See also technology part for more information about VIDEOSCOP).
  • Creation of CRIs (Centre de Ressource Informatique - Informatic ressource center) in the 3 universities. A CRI is a common service devoted to all aspects related with the development of ICT, in order to support administrative, research, pedagogical activities. For example, CRI has offered in 1998 an internet access and a personal email to each student of the university Nancy 2, in 2004 a vitual desk . Since 1998, it proposes a pedagogical platform (with targetted access to e-ressources since 2004 via the virtual desk). The CRIs are important for e-learning because one of their mission is to support research and development of Information and Communication Technologies.
  • In 1998, Nancy 1 and Nancy 2 responded to the Allegre call - a call dealing with the use of new technologies - and started the NUO project in 1999 (NUO for Nancy Université Ouverte = Open University Nancy). This e-campus got bigger the following year (2000) with the support of the Regional Council of Lorraine. Other universities in Lorraine joined the project, which became a pluri-disciplinary e-campus on a regional scale. LUNO (for - Lorraine Université Ouverte) is still running nowadays.
  • In parallel, in 2000, Nancy 2 answered a call for proposals launched by the ministries of education and research for the creation of "campus numérique français" (french e-campuses).
  • Virtual-campus initiatives

virtual-campuses in which Université Nancy 2 is involved, all of them are relevant to e-learning:

  • Law, Economics, Management


  • April to July 2003, following the demand of the European Commission, PLS Ramboll (a Scandinavian management consulting firm) carried out case studies in 8 European countries for the report Virtual Models of European Universities. http://www.elearningeuropa.info/extras/pdf/virtual_models.pdf. With the help of the national ministry for education, it identified CANEGE (a virtual campus in which Nancy 2 is involved) as an example of best practice in e-learning at European level.The insitutions which were selected for these case studies decided to join forces and created eLene (eLearning network) in November of the same year. They have since sucessfully run three Virtual Campus projects in the European Commission supported eLearning programme.


  • In september 2007, Nancy 2 has decided to reorganise e-education activities in nancy 2, it leads to the end of the CEFOD Unit, the transformation of the CTU (Centre de Télé-enseignement Universitaire) into the ERUDI structure (http://) and the creation in the EPCS Nancy Université of a common service dedicated to e-education, called NUTICE (http://TICE.nancy-universite.fr). Since january 2008, all the activities related to e-education are missions of this service for the three Universities in Nancy.

Strategy

(Do not include annual plans.)

  • (19) Describe or provide a document describing the current institutional strategy.

See that with the presidency. site nancy 2 sur obj.


  • (20) Describe or provide a document describing the current learning and teaching strategy.

Difficult to give a simple answer because:

  • strategy vary from one institute to another (3 institutes)
  • even in an institute, as it is interdiciplinary, the objectives and strategy vary.
  • there as different type of education : from mass education to elite education.


  • (21) Describe or provide a document describing the current e-learning strategy.

Sme important points from discussions to highlight:

  • a unique service : NUTICE --> more simple, clear and effective.
  • the general belief of NUTICE concerning the e-learning strategy is to give access to everyone by the help of ITC to learning dispositives and ressources.
  • training for everyone in the university
    • teachers
    • students
  • Teachers are free : they make choice on how many e-learning they incorporate into their lecture.
  • Use students as a leverage ! (C2I preparative course at the beginnning of the year). Genereally students like it and ask for more e-learning to the teachers.
  • customized numerical environment (for teacher, students etc).


NUTICE foster the use and develoment of ITC in the 3 universities. The team have expertise in pedagogy and technology. NUTICE help, accompany, and train teacher who woudl like to use ITC in their courses.

L'objectif étant également d'être le relais des différentes initiatives enseignantes et étudiantes utilisant les TIC en offrant un service de proximité avec l'ambition d'être un guichet unique d'accès aux TICE.

NUTICE give training, advices, assistance in the use of ITC, in the creation of media resources in the following fields :

  • pedagogical ingineering,
  • Accompagny users in the new uses
  • Assistance for converting content into a media format.
  • technological and pedagogical watch
  • dissemination of practices,
  • Assistance to users
  • Promotion of TICE,
  • Participation into international and international work groups,

and all action related to TICE...


  • (22) What is the percentage of students (a) taking courses wholly or largely delivered by e-learning (b) taking courses where the amount of institutionally supplied/guided e-learning is "significant" (i.e. has an impact on staff or students) and (c) taking courses where the where the amount of institutionally supplied/guided e-learning is insignificant? In each case comment on the answer.


Teacher are free to integrate e-learning or not in their training. That is NU policy to insure a optimum automony and flexibility to teachers. So it is difficult to give an answer to this question.

Some courses are done online by decision:

  • All students intent to the C2I course online (certificate informatic and internet). NUTICE use it as a leverage to increase students demand for e-learning.
  • 100% online (ex : Hebrews).
  • 1040 courses online in Nancy 2
  • 1060 cours online in UHP
  • 150 in l'INPL (engineer).(moins grand nombre de formation, donc - de nombre de cours en ligne).
  • Practical work is done online when reality can be dangerous or acces is restricted.

All diplomas have some online supports.


  • (23) Give the percentage of the institutional budget that e-learning represents. Comment on how it is measured including the assumptions made, whether it is appropriate and any trends.

Meaningless. Not representative because some activities will continue and other not.

Strong political support from the presidents of the 3 institutions. The presidents support the TICEs.


  • (24) Categorise the role (if any) of external funding in fostering the development of e-learning as (a) not relevant, (b) useful, or (c) essential. Comment on the choice.

(c)essential. e-learing (as a main part of educational system in France) is almost 90 - 100% funded by state.

Structure

  • (25) Describe the institutional structure, preferably supplying an organigram.


The Federation Nancy-Université is lead by the board of directors (the presidents of the 3 member universities) :

  • Jean-Pierre Finance, President of Université Henri Poincaré - Nanci 1.
  • François Le Poultier, President of Université Nancy 2.
  • François Laurent, President of Institut National Polytechnique de Lorraine.

The EPCS Nancy-Université is lead by one of the 3 presidents of the member universities. François Laurent was elected at the presidency of the EPCS in May 2008 for a 1 year renewable mandate, he succeed François Le Poultier.

The institutional structure is composed of the following elements:

  • Board of directors.
  • Research concil
  • Pedagogy concil
  • Human resource commission

Common services are also integrated into the institution structure.


A commun service do projets and missions which are common for the whole university or specific to its field of activity. Nancy university created common services which vocation is to put their skills and their know how at the disposal of all the university. The commun service dealing with e-learning is [NUTICE].


  • (26) Classify the e-learning support model as (a) hub (b) distributed (c) hub and spokes (d) complicated (e) non-existent. Comment on the choice.

Clearly (c) hub and spokes.


  • The hub : NUTICE core staff (completely centralized).
  • The spokes : represented by the "correspondents" of the "proximity network". Those correspondents (teachers) belongs to the network of NUTICE and are disseminated in all component of Nancy-Université in order to insure everyone (teacher, students, admin staff, etc) can be in close contact with NUTICE and find a relay for help / support.
  • different types of spokes : there are several level of proximity. The aim is to support all the possible initiatives (institutational, not institutional, local, small, large, international). Built to suit is also often done.
  • also some other services who cooperate with NUTICE (see details below).


  • (27) Describe in more detail the structure for the e-learning operation and how it maps into the institutional structure.
  • orientation board (see description below)
  • NUTICE (common and mutualized service dedicated to the implementation of e-learning in Nancy Université)
  • proximity networks
  • plus partnership with:
    • the 3 CRIs (centers for Informatic Recources)
    • videoscop : multimedia production center.
    • the CTU (Center de Télé-enseignement Universitaire), spécialized in language training = ERUDI (Etudes et Ressources Universitaires à DIstance) de Nancy-Université gère tous les aspects relatifs à l'administration d'une formation à distance et à l'organisation de la pédagogie en lien avec les composantes de l'Université. Elle assure la préparation à distance des diplômes nationaux de Licence et Master.


  • (28) Describe the committees that oversee e-learning (including the rank and role of the Chair in each relevant committee) and their relationship to the organisational structure.


  • an orientation board.

The role of the orientation board is to define the general TICE policy for 1 year (general strategy). Meeting once a year. Its composition for each unviersity:

    • The president,
    • the vice President CEVU,
    • a TICE representative, choosen by the President,
    • a representative of teacher and a representation of students choosen by the CEVU.
    • representatives from partners of common services are invited depending on the agenda.
  • NUTICE, executive committee composed of TICE representatives and TICE director. Insure the coordination and is responsable for the implementation of TICE policy. NUTICE have committee meeting every month.

Learning and Teaching processes

This has a focus on learning and teaching with other aspects viewed from this perspective.


Learning and teaching design and delivery

  • (29) Describe how choice of pedagogies and technologies is made for a typical programme that is envisaged to include significant e-learning.


A e-campus must provide 3 kinds of services : to produce multimedia materials, to put this multimedia material at students' disposal and to provide a tutor for the follow up.

The choice of the module size is calculated taking in consideration the number of hours usually done in cathedra and also the homework done by the student. In a learning dispositive, all the modules don't have the same size, it is very rare because the practices are differents between the partners.

Making of a media module :

All kind of media exist, from the simple PDF to the most elaborated module for a sef-sufficient training. The majority of modules are situated between the 2 extrems. The modules for complete self-training don't really exist but some modules were develop to insure a relative automnomy of the learner. The module in PDF format can be justified in the case of a field of knowledge in continious evolution, as fiscal law or work law for example. The updat of such a module, with a lot of media would result in the full creqtion of a new module and would result in high costs. The modules can also be sorted taking in consideration the media they use. For example a module using only video medias will be more expensive to porduce then a module using HTML. The following classification sort the module in function of the mediatisation in 36 categories:

  • Course with low scenarisation, few media : composed of :

an interactive summary, a PDF material per chapter, a multiple choice questionnaire per chapter, a glossary, a bibliography, a webography, eventually one or some case study…

  • Course with scenarisation and media : composed of :

an interactive summary, a PDF material per chapter, a document cut in sequences and learning activities (interactive exercices and/or wording pour participation on a forum, a glossary, a bibliography, a webography, some multiple choice questionnaires, eventually one or some case study…

  • Course with high scenarisation and heavy use of media: composed of:

an interactive summary, a PDF material per chapter, a teaching aids cut in sequences and learning activities, integrating audio, animations, interactive applications, fixe images and video, a glossary, a bibliography, a webography, some multiple choice questionnaires, eventually one or some case study…

Granularity of the module :

Another important caracteristic of a module is its granularity. The choice of educational grain size or of the elementary brick is an important element in pedagogy. In fact, the teacher can decide to modify the path into the module, spending more time on some part (if he thinks they are more important) and reucing the time spent on others. Consequently, the grain must be easy to segregate from technical point of view. The ideal situation is that the teacher can built indicidual path for each student. The students can also, based on his personal background and wishes, select and create his personnal path. In that case the grain must be identified and described from pedagical view. Do note that the size of grain have a great importance in the case of a course develop for a virtual campus use, where re-use, mutualisation and flexibility are the key works.

Key words: Mutualisation, reuse, scenarisation, editorial chain'


  • (30) Describe what scope staff have at delivery stage to refine or in some cases override design decisions made earlier.

Axe 1: Use of a editorial chain for module with important size. Editorial chain: choice of scenari (Scenari is an OpenSource software suite that introduce a new methodology to edit and publish multimedia documents).

Axe 2: pedagogical plateform: moodle. Teacher can customise scenarii (chronology or thematic). Flexible. Full autonomy. Every teacher keep self-control on his training. It is an important point to let the teacher to be self-sufficent because of the number of staff in NUTICE. The teachers mainly wish to be self-sufficient and independent.

Learning and teaching development

This includes materials and IPR.

  • (31) How much e-learning content is sourced from outside the institution? Use a scale of 1-5 with a comment (an exact percentage is useful).

Concerning e-learning content, there are 3 sources:

  • Internal production.
  • Production in partnership within the consortiums
  • Use of external resources (TDU)

It difficult to give an answer, because no control (volontary) on what the teacher are using).

Teacher have OER at their disposal and ent à disposition des reservoirs de ressources et les enseignents se débrouillent. Ils mett

  • (32) Of all e-learning content sourced from outside the institution, what fraction is OER? Use a scale of 1-5 with a comment.

  • (33) When staff in the institution develop content, is the content (a) owned by them and licensed to the institution, (b) owned by the institution but with some licensing back to staff, (c) owned by the institution but with no licensing back to staff, (d) unclear or disputed IPR position? Whatever option is chosen, provide a narrative describing the situation in more detail.

<Extérieur Les auteurs, lorsqu’ils fournissent des contenus pour la réalisation de modules multimédias doivent céder les droits d’exploitation à l’université. Lorsque l’université fait partie d’un consortium, il faut que les universités partenaires puissent également utiliser le module. Mais lorsque le module peut être utilisé dans un autre consortium il peut exister des problèmes d’exploitation dus à la limitation du champ d’utilisation à un consortium. De plus certains auteurs ont pu obtenir des droits pour des images, des vidéos des logiciels ou des documents à condition que ceux ci soient destinés à un public limité et ciblé. Si l’on dépasse le cadre de cette autorisation, cela peut poser des problèmes à l’auteur


  • (34) When content is sourced for a programme within the institution, how much is sourced from other departments within the institution? Use a scale of 1-5 with a comment (an exact percentage is useful).

NUTICE also accompany everyone if he need some help for the use of TICE (for suppport, learning) etc. NUTICE offer both general support, as well as customized support. NUTICE offers several trainings programs to the staff of Nancy Université. The training focus both on technical skills and pedagogy. One very important point is that NUTICE provide training to the teachers in order they can be self-sufficient, that means to use the e-learning platform, produce e-learning material etc.

These do not need to have specific knowledge of e-learning details but must have the necessary strategic, management, costing and foresight capability to preside over decisions on key e-learning issues such as procurement of a new VLE, development of a new distance learning programme, rebalancing the library and its staff more towards web 2.0 and less to books, etc. This will require appropriate manager and leader training.
