Polytechnique Montréal est un établissement d'enseignement supérieur d'ingénierie affilié à l'Université de Montréal, situé à Montréal (Québec) et fondé en 1873. En plus de ses programmes de baccalauréat, Polytechnique Montréal offre une formation aux cycles supérieurs et est une des plus importantes institutions de recherche en génie au Canada.
Plataforma
EDUlib a été lancé par HEC Montréal en octobre 2012 avec comme objectif de rendre disponible au plus grand nombre de personnes une formation universitaire de haute qualité en français dans le domaine de la gestion. EDUlib est maintenant une initiative conjointe de l’Université de Montréal et de ses deux Écoles affiliées, HEC Montréal et Polytechnique Montréal. L’objectif demeure d'offrir au plus grand nombre de personnes une formation universitaire de haute qualité en français mais dans les différents domaines de connaissances des trois partenaires. Les cours d’EDUlib sont calqués sur ceux offerts en présentiel. Ils sont donnés par les mêmes professeurs et les connaissances transmises sont de calibre universitaire. Le format du cours et la périodicité changent, évidemment, mais pas la qualité d’enseignement.
EDUlib est une initiative d’éducation populaire qui ne mène pas à l’obtention d’un diplôme universitaire. Toutefois, il est prévu qu’une attestation couronnera les efforts des participants qui auront réussi les quiz ou tests prévus dans le cours. Les cours ont été conçus pour être largement accessibles, dans un effort concerté de diffusion de la connaissance.
