To improve success rates, the IUT places particular emphasis on educational innovation. Staff are showing increasing interest in this area. They take part in training courses organised by the university’s Centre for Educational Innovation (CIP) and put these methods into practice: gamification of activities, problem-based learning and the flipped classroom.
Experiments are regularly carried out, such as the creation of educational games, self-assessment or peer assessment (by students).
ICT is widely used: computer-equipped practical work rooms, projectors in lectures and tutorials, the use of voting devices, the creation of collaborative learning spaces, the establishment of a radio studio, and the use of digital platforms (Moodle, Mindview). Attendance is systematically monitored by assigning a mark for each resource. This system has helped to improve students’ regularity and engagement with their work and has reduced the drop-out rate in the first semester. Continuous assessment has also been reinforced through short tests, quizzes, pop-quizzes and multiple-choice questions using voting devices.
In the first semester, some modules are taught in tutorial groups rather than in lectures.
As part of its student support initiatives, the IUT offers student jobs provided by the university to enable students to tutor those experiencing difficulties. The IUT also participates in a regional programme to support students wishing to pursue a long-term course of study following the BUT (Regional Programme for Success in Long-Term Studies – PRREL). Furthermore, at the start of the academic year, each department is allocated a budget of 80 hours by the local education authority as part of the Student Guidance and Success Scheme (ORE). These hours are mainly used to provide students with methodological support, tutoring and refresher sessions, revision and marking of written assignments, additional tutorial sessions (particularly at the start of Semester 1), workshops on soft skills and motivation, etc. Furthermore, the IUT has set up an ‘Innovation’ centre.
There is no dedicated student life committee at the IUT. However, student life is very much present through the student societies, which are eligible for project-based grants from the IUT and/or the university. One example is the refurbishment of an entire dining area at the Calais site, which was partly funded by the CVEC (Student and Campus Life Contribution). Various small areas have also been set up in different parts of the lobbies at the Saint-Omer and Calais sites to encourage interaction and a friendly atmosphere (high tables with USB charging sockets, armchairs, beanbags, etc.).
Our students are fully integrated into the university and have access to all the services it offers (CROUS, RU, student welfare officer, medical services, library, sports facilities, etc.). At the start of the academic year, all new students are invited to the ‘Explor’ULCO’ induction days, which are designed to help them discover the university and introduce them to all the services on offer in a fun and engaging way.
