Succeeding in a year at university requires students to develop numerous methodological skills. Whether you're just starting out on your university career or not, you'll encounter multiple challenges: taking full and correct notes of dense lectures, managing your work over time, memorizing large amounts of material, creating studyable and enjoyable course materials for yourself, etc. The Cellule interfacultaire d'appui pédagogique is here to give you the best possible tools to meet these challenges!

Objectives of the Interfaculty Pedagogical Support Unit
- For students at the University of Namur, the cellule interfacultaire d'appui pédagogique (CIAP) offers free group methodological workshops and individualized support throughout the academic year, mainly in the area of methodological skills. It also provides a number of dynamic tool sheets available to students on various topics such as note-taking, time management, identifying teachers' expectations, e-learning... The Cellule interfacultaire d'appui pédagogique also organizes training for students who have dropped out, helping them to reorient their studies: Rebond training.
- For teachers at the Université de Namur, the cell fulfills a mission to support and promote pedagogical innovations. Internally, it supports teaching through a variety of services: publication of an in-house teaching magazine (RESEAU), assistance with the design and development of projects for teachers in the increasingly frequent use of ICTE, management and development of the WebCampus platform, support for requests from teachers (pedagogical advice, product design and development, project support, pedagogical design, etc.), departments (e.g., introducing students to oral presentation) or faculties (e.g., evaluation of a year's program). Externally, CIAP participates in the training of Hautes Écoles teachers as part of the CAPAES program.
- Finally, to ensure the high quality of its services and training, the unit develops research on the following themes:
- factors for success in higher education and early dropout
- supporting students in the transition from secondary to higher education (taking into account the importance of emotional regulation in learning)
- pre-requisites for university training
- pedagogy in higher education
- integrating ICTE into higher education (WebCampus, project support, etc..)
- higher education-specific didactics
