Le passage massif des cours en ligne lors du confinement a renforcé la demande d’outils d’interactivité et a accéléré le choix et la mise à disposition d’une plateforme dédiée à cet effet.
Après une première étude sur les différentes plateformes possibles, notre choix s’est porté sur cette solution. Des tests avec des enseignants et des chargés de cours ont été menés pour vérifier que cela répondait bien aux besoins pédagogiques. Leurs conclusions ont mis en lumière les points suivants :

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to take a two-day course offered by Harvard Business Publishing (HBP), the “Teaching with Cases Seminar”, led by Bill Schiano, professor of Computing Information Systems at Bentley University, Massachusetts (USA). This seminar, organized on the Audencia campus in Paris, gathered a large crowd of professors of diverse nationalities and departments, working in French business schools.
Bill Schiano delivered a smooth demonstration of how to teach with cases using a mise en abyme, as we all had to read cases in advance, exactly the same way students would do, and learnt from each other through the in-class discussion of the various cases. This participant-centered learning is very consistent with the learning by doing approach promoted at ESSEC, and more relevant than ever in a context where knowledge is available everywhere, from MOOC and Coursera to Youtube tutorials, and where classrooms are more a space for discussion than for lectures.

Par Viviane de Beaufort, professeure de Droit et Environnement de l’Entreprise.
Professeure senior par engagement après avoir été lobbyiste à Bruxelles, l’acte de transmission de savoir mais surtout le partage lui semble vital. Elle a le souci de faire participer ses étudiants à des travaux concrets sur la réalité européenne dans ses multiples dimensions et à cet effet a notamment créé un blog qui lui permet d’animer plusieurs cours ESSEC.
La mondialisation se caractérise par l’émergence de grandes puissances économiques et le développement « de tensions identitaires et géopolitiques » (L.C. Tanuji) qui interpellent le projet d’Europe. Le Covid a fondamentalement bouleversé la logique de mondialisation entrainant une fermeture des frontières et un certain chaos dont l’Union Européenne s’est bien sortie ; depuis, la guerre en Ukraine oblige en « stress test » à repenser le projet d’Europe comme zone porteuse de valeurs communes et garante de l’état de droit : « L’Europe est un modèle de civilisation à préserver coûte que coûte pour la génération d’après » – Revue de l’Union européenne N°639 – juin 2020.
