Flexible Teaching
The Center for Digital Education (CEDE) and Teaching Support Center (CAPE) have setup documentation and a Help Desk to support teachers in adapting their classes to flexible teaching in September 2020. The documentation is more useful than ever in transforming the way we teach in this “post-pandemic” phase.
Open education
Open Education Initiative
At EPFL, we believe knowledge produced with the support of public funding should be freely available to anyone. Open education can contribute to the broader openness movement by providing lectures and course materials that create broader and better understanding of our work and impact.
Improving Access and Inclusion
EPFL aims to provide an inclusive and accessible and inclusive environment for all its students and staff, so that everyone can thrive and succeed. The Center for Digital Education (CEDE) can help you implement certain measures to enhance the accessibility of your courses, e.g. by recording your lectures and implementing interactive educational technologies.
Selecting an Appropriate License for your Course Materials
When it comes to protecting and sharing creative works, there are two main approaches: “All Rights Reserved” and Creative Commons licensing. In line with EPFL’s commitment to promoting open science and facilitating the unrestricted sharing of ideas, we advise opting for a Creative Commons license.
Projects
Campus Analytics
We build the datastore and the methods for learning analytics to enhance teaching and learning at EPFL. Do you want to apply data science to education ? We are looking forward to collaborating with you.
Ethical skills for the digital world
We provide support and develop resources to help teachers integrate ethical thinking skills into courses about digital technology.
Center for Learning Sciences
The Center for Digital Education is a member of the Center for Learning Sciences (LEARN). The Center LEARN organizes events which are of interest to the EPFL community, especially the Lunch&LEARN presentations which are a great opportunity to discover new approaches to teaching and learning.
