The Montpellier National School of Chemistry awarded "Apple Distinguished School" status
ENSCM has been awarded the "Apple Distinguished School" label for the educational transformation achieved through the deployment of digital tools since the start of the 2014 academic year. It is the only French public institution to receive this label, out of the six labeled in France, which covers the period 2021-2024. It thus joins the 535 institutions distinguished in 32 countries around the world.
This prestigious engineering school, part of the University of Montpellier, is one of the few public higher education institutions to have digitized its student training at this level.
In an innovative approach that is firmly committed to new uses for student training, the ENSCM teaching team has provided each student with an iPad designed for chemists, covering all aspects of their curriculum and promoting interactivity, personalized monitoring, and facilitating hybrid and distance learning.
With a wide range of applications and advanced, scalable features that are essential to the work of teachers and students, the flexibility of this tool has enabled the integration of work platforms (ELFFE, Teams) and encouraged the development of internal solutions. The rollout of this system is supported by educational and technological assistance for teachers as they transform their practices.
Furthermore, by equipping each student with the same modern, mobile, versatile, robust, quick-to-use tool that can be used in all aspects of their training, ENSCM is committed to providing equal opportunities for all its students.
This label, awarded for three years by a globally recognized company, recognizes ENSCM's commitment and reinforces the determination of its teaching team to continue its educational transformation through digital technology. New projects will be launched as part of this initiative to keep pace with technological developments and contribute to the success of its future engineers in the best possible conditions.
