The "Numérique au service de la formation" call for projects is open from December 14, 2022 to March 9, 2023 before 12 noon. It is structured around 4 types of project:

1. Production of new advanced digital teaching resources 
2. Digital technology for evaluations (peer assessment, skills assessment, etc.)
3. Bimodal teaching hybridization 
4. MOOC 

Deposit AAP-CNUMF

The campaign for the allocation of leave for pedagogical projects (CPP) follows the same timetable as the calls for projects. However, it remains independent of the AAPs and the success of an AAP. In other words, it is possible to submit a CPP project that is not linked to a response to an AAP. Success in an AAP does not automatically lead to the award of a CPP, as the award procedures follow separate circuits.
