Educational technologies as a field of reflection

The partnership agreement between EdTech France and NEOMA Business School will enable the two players to conduct a joint reflection on innovative educational technologies. "In an environment where artificial intelligence and big data are constantly transforming our behavior, and faced with a new generation of students born between Google and Facebook, learning methods have evolved", explains Delphine Manceau, Managing Director of NEOMA Business School. "These transformations encourage the higher education sector to reinvent itself.”

NEOMA Business School thus becomes a member of the association EdTech France, a real professional hub in the EdTech sector, where innovative companies from all over the country meet and interact. "We are particularly proud to count NEOMA among the members of our network which brings together the main players in this market", adds Rémy Challe, General Manager of EdTech France. "The school, strongly involved in educational innovation, will give our network the benefit of its vision and dynamism in this field".

Through this partnership, NEOMA demonstrates its willingness not only to follow innovation but also to create it, in line with its ambition to become the innovative challenger of the greatest international Business Schools.

EdTechs: a strong commitment at NEOMA Business School

"Inventing a new student experience that is consistent with the practices of current generations is one of the strong points of our strategic plan," says Delphine Manceau. NEOMA is notably a pioneer in the use of Immersive Virtual Reality in the classroom. Experimented in 2016, this educational technology has since been deployed to 3500 students. In addition, a few months ago, the School deployed "Augmented Learning Rooms" on its campuses offering a modular learning environment around three structuring layouts.

Finally, in 2018, NEOMA launched NEOMA EdTech Accelerator, an accelerator specialized in EdTech, which aims to support start-ups in the field towards advanced development. Supported by a team of NEOMA EdTechs experts, the structure covers three aspects of EdTech: educational methods for learning to learn and developing creativity, technologies and digital tools for the efficient transmission of knowledge and skills useful to the company, and learning management systems.
