At the University of Montpellier, educational innovation is now a reality. The years of the I-SITE MUSE project were, in this regard, groundbreaking. Innovating in education means driving a shift in the mindset of those involved in university teaching. It also means transforming the spaces where teaching takes place and, finally, experimenting with new and increasingly innovative methods. This represents a profound shift away from traditional paradigms of knowledge transmission, with the goal of fostering the professional development of faculty and involving students in this process. But innovation also means sharing and spreading best practices, which requires observing these transformations and measuring the impacts of their implementation. This pedagogical innovation is part of the educational strategy led by the Presidency of the University of Montpellier and implemented by the Vice President for Academic Affairs (VP CFVU). It has been brought to life through the creation of the Joint Service for Pedagogical Innovation Support. The Center for Pedagogical Innovation Support (CSIP): A Catalyst for Change Building on the experience gained during the I-SITE MUSE years, the CSIP is firmly committed to supporting faculty members and Professors to transform their teaching practices. The CSIP embodies a vision: while not rejecting traditional, teacher-centered teaching methods, its mission centers on interactive pedagogies that bring together students, instructors, researchers, learning spaces, and technology. The goal is to facilitate the co-construction of skills and knowledge. The CSIP upholds the value of implementing teaching methods centered on human interaction, as learning is a lifelong journey where a multitude of educational opportunities intersect, converge, and are shared. Finally, the CSIP represents an experimental approach, rooted in the reality of 21st-century education. Website: The Observatory of Pedagogical Transformation (OTP) The OTP conducts studies to better understand the teaching practices of university faculty, how these practices are evolving, and their impact on student success. Students’ perceptions of teaching practices are central to these studies, which are carried out to support faculty and in collaboration with them. OTP website
