Today and tomorrow Single student among many Several didactical agents Multiple time and space
A common concern
do they learn?

Research, to take up the challenge
• The return of investment in research– Reliability, universality and openness of its outcomes– A method to learn from success and failure
• The cost of research– The theoretical nature of its outcomes– Its method (explicit conceptualisation, rational
validation)– Keeping asking “why?”

The emergence of “Acadustry”• The strength of an original movement
– A dramatic increase of the links between academy and industry around human learning
– Based on a synergy of European TEL research and industry– A growing awareness of the economical role of TEL research– The challenge of “innovation”
• A problematic situtation– A research driven by the calls not by the market, not by theoretical needs
– A research organisation constrained by contractual formalisms– The erosion of the “academic” specificity– The confusion between Research, R&D and Deployment

Basic research
Need 1: a critical consensus at a conceptual and methodological
level, across disciplines and research practices
Need 2: de-fragmentation of the research workforce, its geographical and institutional distribution

Basic research
For a renewed Academy-Industry allianceObjectives
– Consensus building about research outcomes– Intelligibility of theoretical results in a R&D context– Understanding of the “needs” and “problems”– To establish a common understanding of the priorities
• Conditions– Interface between basic research and R&D– Long lasting cooperation around testbeds– Balance between long term research and R&D

Obstacle 1:European eLearning companies are mostly SMEs
anchored in a country or a region Obstacle 2: European demand (users) is marked by
the diversity of the culture of learning
