Profetic est en anglais aussi

 

Profetic, a website for Quebec researchers at profetic.org/en, is now in English as well as French. This means that many more universities around the world will have access to information about new educational technologies in higher education.

Profetic (TIC is the acronym in French for information technology) was created in 2000 by CREPUQ, the federation of Quebec universities.

The site features a database of more than 750 resources, thematically classified and regularly update; short descriptions help users find specialized sites. New publications, calls for papers and contests, short articles and a link to a relevant journal are also offered.

In 2003, the Profetic group decided to use free software and comply with Web standards. The site is produced with SPIP, which was developed by volunteer programmers based mainly in France.

Profetic users are invited to submit news about their universities or articles on projects or practices involving information and communications technologies in higher education.
