Le 16 octobre 2018, nous organisions dans le LS2N, un workshop international sur le thème de l’AI et l’éducation ouverte. Avec des exposés venant de différents pays, nous avons étudié les différentes formes d’impact que pouvait prendre l’IA quand on l’applique à l’éducation.
L’objectif de ce colloque était de réunir :
- des promoteurs et chercheurs de technologies disruptives, même si elles n’ont pas encore été déployées dans le secteur éducatif ;
- des acteurs des différents secteurs de l’éducation qui sont susceptibles de mettre en relation les enjeux et ces technologies, les questions en suspens, celles pour lesquelles peut-être une réponse en partie technologique est possible ;
- des expérimentateurs, leaders de projets d’éducation par le numérique.
Parmi les thèmes au programme : les réseaux sociaux, le blockchain, l’inclusion, l’évaluation, les alignements de curricula, la communication multilingue end-to-end, l’interopérabilité des plates-formes d’apprentissage…
L’objectif du colloque était d’examiner des innovations technologiques, en particulier celles basées sur l’intelligence artificielle, sous différents angles :
- leur intérêt d’usage et leur capacité à répondre à des défis connus ou prévus ;
- leur capacité à apporter des solutions aux défis de l’éducation ouverte.

Le programme (en Anglaisp
| 09:00‑09:15 | Welcome and Introduction Prof. Colin de la Higuera, UNESCO Chair in technologies for the training of teachers by OER, University Nantes |
| 09:15‑10:00 | The Semantic Web of Education Marko Grobelnik and Mitja Jermol, Jozef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana Marko is Slovenia’s digital champion, a recognized researcher in many fields inside Artificial Intelligence and Digital Champion for Slovenia. Mitja is UNESCO OER technologies Chair and has been the founder and leader of the Open Education for a better world Mentoring Program. The Slovenian Unesco Chair puts a special emphasis on the technological aspects of Open Education. |
| 10:00‑10:45 | Thesaurus matching: a use case in e-commerce Thomas Cerqueus, Lengow, France Lengow is concerned with proposing systems allowing retailers to efficiently propose their product on a wide variety of online merchant sites. It may be the case where the same technologies could help courseware be deployed over a variety of platforms with much less effort than today. |
| 10:45‑11:15 | Coffee brake |
| 11:15‑12:00 | How will blockchain contribute to the Open Educational World Movement? Perrine de Coëtlogon, Blockchain & Education advisor at Université de Lille, France Perrine hosts a digital working group at national level on Blockchain and Education (Blockchain4Edu) within the directorate for pedagogical innovation of the University of Lille (France). Perrine de Coëtlogon and her colleagues envisage that in an open learning environment it will be necessary to be able to trace the different contributions to open educational resources. They aim to use a Blockchain solution for this. |
| 12:00‑12:45 | End-to-end communication tools for OER Alfons Juan, Universidad Politecnica de Valencia, Spain Alfons is senior researcher at Universidad Politecnica of Valencia and has led his team in various European projects in which they have developed technologies to transcribe and translate scientific and educational videos. They now aim to deliver an end-to end solution, with the translation being given through voice synthesis including voice models for the original speaker. |
| 12:45‑14:15 | Lunch |
| 14:15‑15:00 | Smarter Systems Include the Margins Jutta Treviranus, Ontario College of Art and Design University, Canada Jutta is Professor at the Ontario College of Art and Design University (OCADU) in Toronto and Founder and CEO of the Inclusive Design Research Centre at the Inclusive Design Research Centre, where proposals are being made to allow web navigation (and more specifically learning) to be more inclusive and friendly. |
| 15:00‑15:45 | Scaling our Open Education infrastructure with microservices Samuel Paccoud, FUN, France Samuel is CTO at FUN, the main French speaking MOOC platform. His talk will be about the convergence and interoperability of online learning tools through shared formats and norms. |
| 15:45‑16:00 | Coffee brake |
| 16:00‑16:45 | Hybrid Social networks of learners Benjamin Ninassi, INRIA, France Benjamin is Research engineer at INRIA, technical leader of the IT development team and main developer of the Class’Code Platform. The platform aims at helping teachers and educators learn to teach code through online activities and the promotion of a social network built from these activities. |
| 16:45‑17:30 | Open educational resources across the OECD, current state of play and emerging trends Mathias Bouckaert, OECD, ParisSince the Centre for Educational research and Innovation at the OECD first published its report on “Giving Knowledge for Free” in 2007, the degree of development and use of OER has significantly increased across education systems as highlighted in the report “Open Educational resources: a catalyst for innovation” (Orr et al., 2015). The presentation will place perspective in the debate by portraying those evolutions and their implications for policy. It will also feature more recent work conducted at the OECD around the topic of open higher education and its potential repercussions on selection, quality and costs. |
