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.

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
