In addition, the UH2C is strongly committed to the digital path by promoting the development of adapted digital platforms and applications that it makes available to its university community (students, teachers and administrators). The UH2C MOOCs project, which was launched in 2015, was designed (and developed), in this sense, to facilitate students’ access to online courses in order to cope with the massification of students.
International openness and the strengthening of cooperation are also one of the priorities of our university, which is continuing its efforts to increase the number of students enrolled in mobility projects. international.
