11. Context of the project #1 In the next years,a high increase of the number of students all over the world is expected From 2000 to 2015, the number of students in the world will grow from 100 to 200 millions (from UNESCO) Universities have to find solutions in order to answer this issue

12. Context of the project #2 Strong development of e-learning in the last years • Appearance of numerous e-learning interactive efficient tools • Huge increase of internet users all over the world • Strongly encouraged by the authorities (Europe, North Africa,…) • Well-adapted to new categories of students : • People already having a job • Students living in landlocked regions E-learning can be an answer to the increase of students all over the world

13. By the development of a remote laboratory allowing students to monitor online real practical works • Context of the project #3 In Physics, students have to acquire practical skills by doing practical works How to treat this issue in an e-learning context?

14. Context of the project #4 Experience of the ARTICC Master launched in 2008 by the University of Limoges • Blended learning (2 weeks of face-to-face courses) Master (in French) • Also on Electronics & Optics topics • In a co-accreditation process with University of Mostaganem (belonging to the EOLES consortium) • 270 student applications for 2012-2013 to get into the first year of this 2-year degree ( 50 % from Algeria, Tunisia and Marocco) The ARTICC master demonstrates the possibility to perform e-learning training in Physics interesting a large number of students
