Project Summary

French-speaking partnership composed of 5 universities of West Africa (Ivory Coast and Togo), 5 universities in the member states of the EU (France, Romania and Belgium) and networks such as CIRUISEF, AUF, CDUS and CAMES. The PULSE project targets two objectives for the students: support the continuation of studies in Master’s degree at the international level, and encourage professional integration for license graduates. It will involve innovative hands-on teaching supported by shared digital resources and strong links with businesses. This will be carried out through two types of actions:-The implementation of practical exercises (TP) with digital support in the African universities. The selected experiments will illustrate the laws of physics, chemistry and biology, and will use new digital tools for the phases of preparation, revision and edition of reports. In the first year of licenses, these TP of numerical simulations will replace the real TPs, and in the 2nd and 3rd years, they will provide support for the realization of the experiments. Digital tools will help rationalize the time of the students and teachers, and optimize the use of equipment and rooms. The real TPs will be implemented with easy maintenance equipment. The teachers will be trained and will ensure the durability of these practical exercises. -The creation of digital resource platforms that will be modular and mutualisable. In addition to academic disciplinary modules, transversal professionalization modules will be developed in collaboration with local businesses. A template module will include courses, assessment activities and multimedia resources. A digital manual (toolkit) based on the project results will be developed and disseminated on the international scale, to help universities to duplicate the resources and use them on their own curricula.
