Teaching

TECFA offers courses at Master and Bachelor levels, as well as a continuous education.

Master MALTT

The Master of Science in Learning and Teaching Technologies (MALTT) is a 120 ECTS credits university degree. All classes are offered by the unit TECFA since 1994.

In a blended format, which alternates on-site classes at university and distance learning, the master trains students to:

  • set up and audit e-learning devices (distance training or self-directed);
  • design and assess educational or training software (ergonomy and impact);
  • multimedia e-learning project management, from analysis of needs to assessment through users survey.

Direction: Gäelle Molinari and Eric Sanchez
