16 h 45 : Ressources éducatives libres : une opportunité en or pour la communauté étudiante

Amphithéâtre S1-151

• Antoine Bertrand Huneault, coordonnateur aux affaires académiques de premier cycle à la FAÉCUM

Dans les dernières années, plusieurs provinces canadiennes ont lancé des programmes de développement de ressources éducatives libres. Que ce soit en Colombie-Britannique ou en Ontario, les avantages de ces programmes pour la communauté étudiante sont indéniables. Le fardeau financier pour l’achat de manuels s’en trouve diminué et le nombre de sources d’acquisition de savoirs augmenté. Ils ont aussi favorisé l’accès à davantage d’opportunités de création de contenu par des étudiantes et des étudiants pouvant être utilisés dans un cadre académique. Le développement de telles ressources au Québec représenterait une occasion en or pour les étudiantes et les étudiants québécois afin de profiter des mêmes opportunités que leurs collègues d’ailleurs au pays.

Antoine Bertrand Huneault est coordonnateur aux affaires académiques de premier cycle à la FAÉCUM. Complétant un baccalauréat en enseignement des mathématiques au secondaire, Antoine s’est impliqué activement auprès de son association étudiante, ayant été successivement élu aux postes d’externe et de président. Il a également milité au sein de la Campagne de revendications et d’actions interuniversitaires pour les étudiants et étudiantes d’éducation en stage (CRAIES), qui réclamait la compensation financière des stages pour les futurs enseignants et les futures enseignantes.
