This report analyses the incorporation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in higher education in Latin America, focusing mainly on what is commonly referred to as “e-learning”. Access to and quality of higher education, financial constraints and relevance to the needs of the labour market are all crucial challenges facing the higher education system in the region. The study attempts to understand how ICTs and new learning and teaching practices can help to meet these challenges. The report also provides the results of a questionnaire showing the degree of implementation and the impact of e-learning on a group of higher education institutions in Latin America and includes a set of policy recommendations in this area.

Les universités sont souvent accusées de négliger leur mission d'enseignement au profit de la course à l'excellence dans la recherche et, par conséquent, de mépriser la pédagogie. Mais l'université est-elle vraiment aussi centrée sur la recherche qu'on le prétend ? Est-elle si réfractaire au changement et à l'innovation pédagogique ? Cet ouvrage questionne ces présupposés et annonce un renouveau de la pratique enseignante à l'université. Les grands changements qui affectent autant les cursus universitaires que les manières d'enseigner sont analysés à partir des questions suivantes. Quels sont les facteurs externes qui poussent au changement ? Quelles sont les nouvelles directions pédagogiques préconisées ? Comment soutenir, voire encourager l'innovation et le changement. Comment la recherche en éducation alimente-t-elle les nouvelles approches pédagogiques ? Les contributions de cet ouvrage relèvent les principaux défis pour les universités qui veulent renouveler leurs enseignements. Elles sont regroupées en trois parties qui, tour à tour, examinent les objectifs de demain :oser l'évaluation pour faire le point et diagnostiquer les malaises, soutenir les pratiques pédagogiques innovantes et proposer des mesures d'accompagnement de ces mêmes pratiques. S'il comprend des modélisations pour mieux analyser et évaluer les pratiques enseignantes, l'ouvrage est résolument tourné vers l'action et suggère des pistes à explorer pour accélérer les mutations des pratiques pédagogiques universitaires.
