Essential Digital Tools for Teachers
The digital transformation of education involves integrating various digital tools that facilitate teachers’ daily lives. The ENT (Digital Work Environment), for example, has become a cornerstone of school management. It centralizes information, educational resources, and allows for smooth communication between the various stakeholders in education: teachers, students, and parents.
For teachers, the basic digital foundation includes tools like Magistère, a distance training platform. This platform is essential for the continuous skill development of national education staff. The ministry also generalizes the Pix digital awareness certification for 6th-grade students, thus reinforcing digital skills from a young age.

The Phare program combats bullying and cyberbullying, a major issue in the digital age. Media and information education (EMI), promoted by entities like CLEMI and supported by CNIL and Arcom, develops students’ critical thinking. These initiatives raise awareness among young people about the dangers of the Internet while providing them with the necessary tools to navigate safely.
The Pix certification, awarded at the end of cycles 4 and terminal, is another key initiative. It evaluates and certifies students’ level of mastery of digital skills, ensuring they are prepared for future technological challenges. The program ‘1 scientist, 1 class: challenge accepted!’, in which Inria participates, also enhances students’ interest in science and technology.
To simplify administrative procedures, solutions like Webmel in Nancy-Metz facilitate email management within educational institutions. These digital tools form a coherent and indispensable ecosystem to meet the demands of modern education.
Essential Digital Services for Students
Higher education institutions are adopting a multitude of digital services to meet the current needs of students. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) allows students to use their own electronic devices, such as laptops and tablets, thus facilitating note-taking and access to educational resources.
University campuses are also equipped with touch kiosks and interactive digital screens. These devices promote independent information consultation and collaborative work in class. Interactive projectors and interactive whiteboards enable more immersive and interactive lessons.
Technologies like virtual reality and augmented reality offer immersive learning experiences. Virtual reality headsets are used in specific courses to enrich the educational process with 3D simulations.
The management of workspaces and university libraries is optimized through sensors and touch screens. Students can book study rooms or check the availability of resources in real-time.
Student associations and BDEs (Student Offices) enliven campus life. They use digital tools to organize events and facilitate communication among students.
