But as online learning becomes more and more popular, educators are warning that a teaching environment without some kind of face-to-face interaction isn’t suited for every kind of degree level or course. For instance, they feel that graduate students are better able to handle the lack of personal interaction than undergraduates who need the sense of community that being on campus offers.

CONT

Recent years have witnessed the birth of a new paradigm for learning environments, animated pedagogical agents. These lifelike autonomous characters cohabit learning environments with students to create rich face to face learning interactions This opens up exciting new possibilities, for example agents can demonstrate complex tasks, employ locomotion and gesture to focus students attention on the most salient aspect of the task at hand and convey emotional responses to the tutorial situation.

CONT

Ingénieur : un titre et une profession. L'appellation d'ingénieur recouvre en France deux grandes réalités, qui ne se recouvrent que partiellement : l'exercice d'une activité professionnelle demandant une compétence technique [...] la détention d'un titre sanctionnant une formation longue, selon un programme respectant un certain équilibre entre disciplines scientifiques, techniques et économiques et comportant un minimum d'expérience pratique. On peut également occuper un emploi comportant statutairement l'appellation ingénieur (exemple : ingénieur au CNRS, ingénieur au CNRS, ingénieur de la ville de ...). La profession d'ingénieur n'est pas organisée, au sens où elle ne fait l'objet d'aucun contrôle ou réglementation : Seul le titre d'ingénieur diplômé est reconnu et protégé par la loi (et non l'appellation simple d'ingénieur). Le titre d'ingénieur diplômé sanctionne une formation longue (en principe de 5 ans) dispensée par un établissement d'enseignement supérieur habilité par une instance placée auprès du ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur : la Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur, créée par la loi du 10 juillet 1934.
