Learning platform: where the programme actually runs

The learning platform brings together materials, submissions, marking, the calendar and the exchanges. It is the single place where your record is stored, followed and proved. Everything there is dated and retained for the whole course.

One place for the whole course

The learning platform, often referred to by the acronym LMS, hosts the whole course: materials, exercises, submission of work, annotated marking, the calendar of live sessions, discussion threads with instructors and credit tracking. Everything is dated and retained, so you can find a piece of feedback six months later and reconstruct a complete file.

  • Materials, submissions, marking, calendar and exchanges in one place
  • Every item is dated and retained for the whole course
  • Credits earned can be consulted there at any time

What the platform keeps

The Website Creation course files its three successive deliveries there, each coming back annotated. The Computer Science programme keeps the entire capstone project there, version after version: at defence time, the complete history of the work is available and open to the panel.

Materials

Documents, videos, datasets and technical environments, open from the moment the unit opens.

Submissions

Every piece of work is filed, timestamped and kept with its successive versions.

Marking

Annotations come back attached to the submission, with the marking criterion applied.

Tracking

Credits earned, taught hours attended and upcoming milestones, viewable at any time.
