Take action to promote education
The aim of this master program is to train future teachers, researchers and entrepreneurs, to provide an understanding of the digital transformations happening in education and to help them design relevant and challenging projects.
Education is now globalized: teaching supports of all kinds are available at all time and everywhere. If it is stimulated by digital economy, education must also compete with it.
Schools are urged by society to encourage students’ creativity and eagerness to learn, to inspire them to undertake and share, to develop their lucidity, critical thinking and sense of solidarity. But this goals can’t easily be reached, in a context of social crises, growing inequalities and demographic needs.
It is a challenge we are ready to take-up: education is in need for new entrepreneurs, teachers and researchers, and ideally, people with these three characteristics all at once.
We are looking for talented students with a particular interest for exploration, experimentation and research.
Our candidates must have the desire to work together on exciting collaborative projects and to contribute now to tomorrow’s education.
Career opportunities
A business/job in a startup or an institution
At the exit of the master, graduates
– Become instructional designers, editorial managers or project managers in startups and publishers
– Create an educational company in Europe, Africa, America or Asia …
– Take a teaching assignment
– Begin a thesis and join a laboratory.
Publics
At the entrance of the Master, students are
– Sociology students in educational sciences, biology, cognitive science, design, computer science, engineering sciences,
– Practicing faculty physicians involved in educational innovation. All are passionate about education and believe that its future is crucial for the future.
For some students, it is a step aside for a project.
This is the case of doctors who want to take time to imagine a serious game, design a simulator to train surgeons, embarking on a participatory science research, manufacture objects connected in a OpenLab for their research. .
This is the case of teachers who seek a breath for a job they love and want to re-imagine.
For others it is the beginning of a research curriculum that requires knowledge about learning in a digital society and that will combine several disciplines, computer science, cognitive science, physics, biology, humanities and social.
For others still, designers, artists, hackers is a creative field, for sustainable development, sharing economy, the development of “common” knowledge.
All meet, to discuss the tech ed (Education and technology) with 3 fields of expertise:
– The educational philosophy and anthropology of knowledge, digital humanities, social sciences
– Digital techniques, experimentation
– Entrepreneurship, project management,

Our People
http://cri-paris.org/aire-edtech-master/people/ RESEARCH EDTECH
Education through research is based on 5 pillars
The open science: open source, open access, research methods in big and open data, participatory science and citizen science, the role of communities in the creation of knowledge.
The learning by doing: project, prototype, test, analyze, document and share in scientific prototyping OpenLab CRI: DiY, design, education and research.
The peer to peer: learning communities, collective challenges, training cooperation, sharing with social enterprises in the ecosystem of the CRI: HelloTomorrow Challenge, Make Sense, Synlab, CoDesign-It and projects hosted in OpenLab , exploring the vast international community that works for equal access to education
Entrepreneurial Spirit: project acceleration, creativity, design, technological autonomy (introductory programming methods, creation of connected objects, creation of digital media), student status can entrepreneur.
The philosophical and ethical framework that gives meaning to education, the history of ideas and institutions, the analysis of the concept of innovation, an organizational approach of thought for education in the present world.
The EdTech master teaches to research: teaching is based on the questioning and the project of each student. Problem solving, experimentation and interpretation are based on the analysis of the scientific literature.
It introduces the digital industry training: content design, learning strategy, platform design, working in project mode. Internships (laboratory, company or association, in educational institutions), and stakeholders closer student researchers, startupeurs, social entrepreneurs, professors, all education stakeholders.
It meets the needs of experienced teachers or training by inviting them to work the key points of education in the digital society: new responsibilities and new forms of educational intervention, addressing societal and scientific challenges such as “living together “, health, nutrition, mobility, climate, pollution, future cities.
