SPART-Clinic:
Project leader: Orianne VILLARD
Component: Faculty of Medicine
Abstract: Medical interns have a portfolio of skills to acquire during their postgraduate training. The current format makes formative assessment difficult, both for interns, who struggle to track their progress and develop a reflective approach, and for teachers, who struggle to monitor and assess learners' progress. In addition, postgraduate certification often remains implicit and informal, despite the high level of responsibility required by the profession. We propose a digital tool for self-assessment and monitoring of interns' skills by senior supervisors, which will be developed as an extension of the SPART-App application (already supported by the University of Montpellier). It will thus enable the collection of innovative educational data to assess the acquisition and certification of clinical skills of future practitioners.

An agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence that functions as an autonomous agent, capable of making decisions and acting proactively (without prompts) to achieve objectives. Unlike traditional AI, which simply responds to specific queries (such as classic ChatGPT), an agentic AI can plan, act, adapt, interact, and persist. As part of the project, agentic AI will draw on materials specially created as part of the previous Pedagonum call for proposals and dedicated to several courses. It will integrate them into the ChatGPT environment, relying in particular on the "Tasks" and "Actions" features, deployed in January 2025, which organize the personalized mobilization of the various materials. This approach should make it possible to offer students educational pathways tailored to their specific profiles.
GENIUS – Digital Generation and Experimentation of Images and Synthetic Universes:
Project leader: Benoit DARTIES
Component: Béziers University Institute of Technology
Summary: With the emergence of generative AI in computer graphics and now in video, MMI (Multimedia and Internet Professions) training must be completely rethought and adopt the AI shift as quickly as possible. This project aims to integrate generative AI into computer graphics and audiovisual education. It will enable experimentation with these tools for the creation of images, videos, and interactive scenarios, and ultimately determine which tools the department should focus on for mass deployment among students. The objective is, on the one hand, to optimize the creative process while evaluating the educational impact of AI on the productions and skills developed, and, on the other hand, to consider how to reduce investment/operating costs (audiovisual equipment, software licenses) for a similar creative result. A framework for peer evaluation and automated analysis of achievements could be put in place to measure the real benefits of these technologies.
Hybrid information monitoring:
Project leader: MESSAOUI Anita
Component: Montpellier-Sète University Institute of Technology
Summary: The project aims to transform a course on information monitoring in BUT 3 computer science from a fully face-to-face format to a hybrid format based on two challenges. First, the aim is to revitalize a course whose face-to-face format does not allow all the expected objectives to be achieved. The transformation should stimulate regular student engagement in information monitoring activities through participation in a Moodle forum. Second, the creation of short audio and video resources on theoretical knowledge will facilitate access for the target audience (work-study students) and enable the dissemination of content to other courses.
Team project: Collaborative learning and assessment:
Project leader: LAVABRE Ludovic
Component: Montpellier-Sète University Institute of Technology
Résumé : Mise en œuvre de l’évaluation par les pairs dans le cadre d’un travail en équipe dans le domaine du Génie Electrique et Informatique Industrielle (GEII) des étudiants du Bachelor Universitaire et Technologique {BUT) et de la Licence Professionnelle (LP) Chargé d’Affaire en Ingénierie Électrique et Électronique (CAIEE).

Thanks to the configuration of customized GPTs made possible by IAG ChatGPT, the Compan'IA project explores training opportunities for students in the Computer Science Bachelor's Degree program. Like teaching assistants working alongside teachers, GPTs support the acquisition of the skills expected in the BUT Informatique program.
Changes to the teaching of Algorithms in the BUT Physical Measurements program:
Project leader: Jean-François AVERSENG
Component: Montpellier-Sète University Institute of Technology
Summary: This project aims to optimize the teaching of algorithms in the BUT Physical Measurements program through the production of new advanced digital teaching resources combining face-to-face and asynchronous distance learning. Face-to-face sessions (10 hours) will be devoted to complex concepts and practical application, while the resources available in asynchronous distance learning will enable independent progress with video clips, interactive quizzes, H5P activities, and self-correcting exercises. This approach will strengthen student engagement, facilitate gradual assimilation, and maximize the use of face-to-face time. It will also allow for more individualized learning and more effective monitoring thanks to digital tools.
Virtual reality for learning (VRL):
Project leader: DEBOUCHA Walid
Component: IUT de Nîmes
Summary: In order to meet the requirements of the national BUT GC-CD and BUT GMP programs and to promote the professional integration of graduate students, this educational project consists of developing and implementing new practical work using advanced learning tools based on virtual reality (VR) for BUT GC-CD and BUT GMP students. This project is also aimed at BUT SGM students and professionals (through continuing education), enabling them to acquire new skills tailored to the needs of the job market.
LABE – Understanding and embracing the representation of the body in art as a tool for combating fatphobia in health studies:
Project leader: Jean-Baptiste Bonnet
Component: Faculty of Medicine
Summary: Weight stigma in the medical field is well documented and is associated with reduced use of healthcare services. As a tool to combat this, we offer healthcare students a training course on body perception and its representation in art through the ages, in the form of an audio-guided tour (via a smartphone interface) at a leading fine arts museum (the Fabre Museum in Montpellier). Project developed in collaboration with the Fabre Museum and a patient partner.
Monitoring and evaluation of the clinical skills of medical interns:
Project leader: VILLARD Orianne
Component: Faculty of Medicine
Abstract: Medical interns have a portfolio of skills to acquire during their postgraduate training. The current format makes formative assessment difficult, both for interns, who struggle to track their progress and develop a reflective approach, and for teachers, who struggle to monitor and assess learners' progress. In addition, postgraduate certification often remains implicit and informal, despite the high level of responsibility required by the profession. We propose a digital tool for self-assessment and monitoring of interns' skills by senior supervisors, which will be developed as an extension of the SPART-App application (already supported by the University of Montpellier). It will thus enable the collection of innovative educational data to assess the acquisition and certification of clinical skills of future practitioners.
"Envi-motion SPES Project: Creation of short videos on environmental health for the general public":
Project leader: Jean-Baptiste TOSTAIN
Component: Faculty of Medicine
Summary: This format will be integrated into the primary care, environment, and health (SPES) training program run since 2021 by the Montpellier-Nîmes University Department, MSP Avicenne, and Dr. CARBONNEL (MCU-MG) for the environmental health training of students in the D.E.S. program in general medicine. This training consists of an annual one-day in-person session with expert lectures in the morning and thematic workshops in the afternoon on the topic of environmental health. It was initially intended for D.E.S. 1 general medicine students to meet the objectives of the PRSE. The theme of the SPES 2025 conference is "My Health, My Territory" and is open to CLS coordinators from the Occitanie-Est region, environmental health representatives from the ARS, and territorial health coordinators from MSP/CPTS. Each year, we presented a face-to-face "general public" format. Given the low number of participants on the evening, we would like to offer a more fun, asynchronous remote format that is better suited to current modes of communication. We would like to produce short educational videos in partnership with faculty experts on environmental health topics. These video clips will answer questions focused on current issues of concern to the population in terms of environmental health. We could offer four videos in the first year:
- How does climate change affect my health?
- PFAS: where are they found and how can they be avoided?
- What to choose: Tap water or bottled water?
- Reducing environmental exposure through diet.
These short video clips, lasting between 1 and 3 minutes, will be dynamic, edited, and adapted to current communication formats. They can be integrated into a YouTube channel or other types of mainstream media.
Educational podcast for the daily practice of general practitioners in France:
Project leader: GRIFFITHS Karolina
Component: Faculty of Medicine
Summary: MedG éclairé is an educational podcast aimed at general medicine students, offering a short format to keep them informed of scientific developments in primary care. This year, we want to enrich the educational approach, improve interaction, and optimize knowledge transfer through peer review assisted by artificial intelligence (AI). We are seeking the support of the audiovisual team for the post-production and distribution of the episodes.
Information Module for Caregivers of Aging People with Disabilities – MIA-PHV:
Project leader: MIOT Stéphanie
Component: Faculty of Medicine
Summary: Little research has been done on aging adults with disabilities, and the support available to them is largely inadequate. Their family and professional caregivers are on the front line and often feel helpless. The Montpellier-Nîmes School of Geriatrics and Gerontology offers short informational videos for caregivers of people with disabilities to help them identify and support this sometimes accelerated or pathological aging process.
Resolving ethical dilemmas in AI-assisted simulation scenarios: Learning through play:
Project leader: MUSSOL Sarah
Component: MOMA – Montpellier Management
Summary: This project aims to develop an interactive simulation (AI) to enable students to experience ethical dilemmas, resolve them, and receive feedback on their acquisition of ethical skills. The objective is to measure and improve their ethical skills using automated assessments and personalized feedback. The idea would be to integrate this simulation into the Moodle platform. Failing that, the development of a dedicated tool could be considered.
Issues, outline, and bibliography for a mandatory L2 AES internship report with the help of AI:
Project leader: Virginie Leroux
Component: MOMA – Montpellier Management
Summary: This project aims to improve support for second-year AES students in writing a problem-based internship report. It proposes a five-session teaching sequence incorporating the use of AI to help students identify problems, conduct documentary research, organize their ideas, improve their writing style, and adopt a reflective stance regarding the use of AI (limitations, benefits, relevance, etc.). Funding from the AAP will enable this sequence to be tested and improved before its integration into the new L2 AES curriculum in 2027.
Compt’adventure: the MOOC:
Project leader: Guillaume Dumas
Component: MOMA – Montpellier Management
Summary: In 2023, I was awarded an AAP PEI grant. Following this, I developed an introductory accounting game. It takes the form of a free mobile app that can be used on smartphones. It has been rolled out at the University of Montpellier (notably MOMA and the Faculty of Economics). In six months of operation, the app has been downloaded 1,250 times and more than 6,000 games have been played. Students like the app. However, the app has been most effective when teachers have combined it with a related course. In this context, I would like to develop a distance learning course sequence (MOOC format) that would allow the app and the associated course sequence to be deployed to all e-learning courses and, more generally, to all individuals wishing to learn accounting (e.g., high school students studying management and technology, students studying for a BTS or BUT diploma, entrepreneurs, and professionals wishing to learn accounting).
Use of AI to improve peer review:
Project leader: Guillaume Dumas
Component: MOMA – Montpellier Management
Abstract: In 2024, I obtained an AAP – Pedago-N’UM for the deployment of peer assessment (now EPP) in my courses. The article by Dumas et al. (2025) presents the effects of this pedagogical device. In particular, it appeared that the comments made by students were sometimes incomplete. It also appeared that some students doubted the quality of their comments and that finding themselves in the evaluator's shoes could be uncomfortable for them. Therefore, we want to integrate AI into the PEA. This AI would indicate whether the comments made by students are constructive, kind, clear, etc. We have already contacted Challenge Me to use and customize the AI solution they offer in their tool.
Constructive peer feedback assisted by generative Artificial Intelligence:
Project leader: BEZ Sea
Component: MOMA – Montpellier Management
Summary: This project aims to integrate generative artificial intelligence to support students and teachers in peer assessment. In collaboration with Montpellier-based start-up ChallengeMe, the project involves testing ChallengeMe's AI to improve the quality of feedback produced by students on oral presentations given by other students and to facilitate analysis by the teacher. Students will learn to formulate constructive evaluations, thereby strengthening their management and evaluative judgment skills. AI thus becomes a key teaching assistant, supporting learning and feedback management.
Generative AI for medical research training:
Project leader: BOUTIN François
Component: Faculty of Dentistry
Abstract: Our health students have already adopted generative AI (GIA) for their research work, for better or sometimes worse... However, carrying out such work requires a rigorous methodology. We do not expect "probabilistic" content, but rather personal reflection and critical analysis. The objective of this project is to identify good and bad practices in the use of GAI to support the production of a scientific medical report, with an emphasis on personal and "enriching" work for the student.
AgingEval 360:
Project leader: RICHAUD Myriam
Component: Faculty of Pharmacy
Abstract: This project aims to develop the evaluative judgment and group work skills of students in the Master's program in Drug and Health Product Sciences, Aging and Anti-Aging Strategies track, at the Faculty of Pharmacy. Although we initiated this process last year with the first use of the ChallengeMe tool, this new phase goes much further by introducing inter-group and intra-group peer assessment. It will enable students to develop their soft skills and project assessment skills.
Institute for Health and Medicines (ISM):
Project leader: Patrick Poucheret
Component: Faculty of Pharmacy
Summary: The Health & Medicine Institute (ISM) aims to optimize pharmacy students' pharmacotherapeutic skills and good pharmacy practices through the development of educational and teaching innovations based on complex and systemic thinking applied to prescribing in the context of shared medication reviews, therapeutic patient education, and interprofessionality.
Training to become better informed – session 2:
Project leader: SIMON Claire
Component: SCD
Summary: This project aims to offer a new session of the course "Se former pour mieux s'informer" (Training to become better informed), the MOOC created and run in 2024 on the FUN MOOC platform by librarian-trainers from the Joint Documentation Service, focusing on the acquisition of information skills for the general public (combating fake news, critical thinking, ethical and responsible use of information). This new edition will reproduce the educational scenario while incorporating the updates and additions made necessary by the development of Generative Artificial Intelligence tools and the specific challenges that arise from them.
Written assignments 1 and 2 and triple correction – Peer assessment:
Project leader: DEAS Anaïs
Component: UFR STAPS
Summary: This project is a continuation of a previous call for projects, with the aim of stabilizing it. As part of their preparation for the CAPEPS exam, Master 2 Meef students benefit from three mock exams in writing 1 and three mock exams in writing 2, under exam conditions (five hours of writing on a CAPEPS-type subject). The objective here is twofold: first, to offer them a fourth mock exam for each written assignment, on a subject similar to that of the exam, and second, to offer them the opportunity to become correctors themselves in order to familiarize themselves with the assessment criteria they will be subject to during the exam. Peer assessment is an interesting way to become aware of the requirements expected in the recruitment exam to become a teacher. We propose the following formula: each student corrects three assignments and is corrected by three other students who have written assignments. To do this, we need to produce a subject, a correction guide, and several explanatory videos to help them evaluate their peers. Students will therefore also have the opportunity to take on the role of corrector using a criteria-based grid. By becoming someone else's corrector, they develop a better understanding of the competition requirements. This new project focuses more on understanding the requirements through the use of the correction grid in a jury situation, which we will develop in the accompanying videos.
Learning to identify a basketball play system:
Project leader: DEAS Anaïs
Component: UFR STAPS
Summary: One of the training objectives in the second year of the basketball specialization is to learn how to identify a game system (organized offensive movement of players and the ball) in order to write it down (in a playbook). This work is part of the training program: it builds on what was learned in the first year and supports the content of the third year. The objective here is to provide training videos showing game systems and solutions as corrections so that students can work independently.

B-PHOTOSENS: Setting up the Erasmus Mundus PHOTOSENS Master's program
Project leader: Aurore VICET
Component: Faculty of Science
Abstract: This project aims to create a European Master's degree program (M1 and M2) on photonic sensors for health and the environment. This program responds to the growth of the photonics market and the increasing demand, at the national and European levels, for measurement solutions in the highly regulated sectors of health and the environment. A consortium of five universities has already been formed. It will train engineers and researchers capable of designing and manufacturing advanced sensors. The curriculum will cover photonics, clean room manufacturing, data processing using artificial intelligence, and European regulations. This educational project therefore supports the preparation of an Erasmus Mundus Master's program (EMJM), greatly enhancing the European visibility of the partners involved.
STEMS: Serious game on Water Treatment for Scientific Mediation
Project leader: Julie MENDRET
Component: Polytech
Summary: The aim is to develop an educational digital "serious game" on the theme of water, illustrating the journey of a drop of water from its source to its purification and return to the environment via wastewater treatment systems. This project aims to raise awareness among a wide audience (young people, students, citizens) about the challenges of water management and environmental contamination, as well as eco-friendly practices. This tool will be used for scientific outreach, but also to promote Polytech's STE department during open houses and among PEIP students.
TIAFORUM:
Project leader: Jean-Michel MARIN
Component: Faculty of Science
Summary: The TIAFORUM project provides equipment and methodologies within the Faculty of Science at the University of Montpellier for students to learn about the challenges of ecological transition by collecting and analyzing meteorological and climate data, air quality data, and biodiversity monitoring data. Artificial intelligence (AI) is used to recognize the sounds of birds, bats, and soil organisms. This project is an opportunity to test innovative teaching methods with a view to developing the university's next teaching model for the period 2027-2032.
SOYBEANS:
Project leader: Jérôme AZÉ
Component: Béziers University Institute of Technology

The connected garden will be accessible to all EUIs via the website, allowing them to follow the garden's progress in real time.
DECO:
Project leader: Moulay Said EL YOUSSOUFI
Component: IUT (University Institute of Technology) of Nîmes
Summary: This project is a continuation of the polymer material recycling demonstrator submitted in 2024. It aims to create a training and expertise center dedicated to positive energy houses (BEPOS), intended for IUT students, high school students as part of information days, or professionals as part of micro-certifications. The objective is to design educational models illustrating how carbon-free heat sources work and techniques for optimizing the energy performance of buildings.
DREAM:
Project leader: Angèle CHOPARD
Component: UFR STAPS
Summary: Physical exercise is at the heart of the UFR STAPS curriculum. During TEDS classes (lectures and tutorials), our students are made aware of environmental issues, particularly those related to energy consumption. The acquisition of 100% human-powered charging pedals (ILO terminals) would make it possible to relate the amount of electricity needed to charge a phone to the amount of time a person spends pedaling. This would be an explicit way of linking energy consumption to the amount of energy produced by physical exercise and raising our students' awareness of the concepts of energy efficiency and conservation.
