Université de Poitiers - Département d'Ingenierie des Médias pour l'Education

What Université de Poitiers - Département d'Ingenierie des Médias pour l'Education does

The Département d'Ingénierie des Médias pour l'Éducation (DIME) is a unit housed within the UFR Lettres & Langues faculty of the Université de Poitiers, a public French university founded in 1431. It operates within the French public higher education system under the oversight of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, and functions principally to support teaching, training, and pedagogical innovation in media engineering for education within the broader humanities, languages, and arts faculty. Its core activity centers on operating a WordPress-based institutional web platform (managed by i-médias, the university's DSI), supporting Webex-enabled multimedia rooms and amphitheaters (Virginia Woolf, Agnès Varda, Simone de Beauvoir), connecting to the university's ENT (Environnement Numérique de Travail) portal, and contributing pedagogical expertise to programs such as the Erasmus+ REAL project. The entity is supported by Pédagolab for pedagogical technology innovation.

The department is embedded in a non-commercial public-sector operating model. It does not sell to external customers; rather, it serves the Université de Poitiers' internal academic community — students (Licence, Master, doctoral, international exchange), teaching staff, and research laboratories (FoReLLIS, MIMMOC, TECHNE, CESCM, CRLA). Revenue flows from French state education budgets allocated through the Université de Poitiers, with supplementary research grants and partnerships (Erasmus+, Institut Camões, France Education International's ADELE platform). There are no venture capital, private equity, or external shareholders; ownership rests entirely with the French state.

Customer-facing operations occur through national, government-regulated admissions platforms (Parcoursup for Licence 1, Ecandidat for Licence 2-3 and Master 2, MonMaster for Master 1) and on-campus delivery in Poitiers and Angoulême (where the CREADOC Master programme is co-located). The department supports international mobility through bilateral Erasmus+ agreements and broader cooperation networks spanning Europe, Brazil, Colombia, the US, Central Asia, and Ukraine. Headcount is reported at approximately 28 staff, consistent with a specialized media-engineering support unit rather than a full teaching faculty.

Product overview

The digital presence of the UFR Lettres & Langues at the Université de Poitiers is anchored by a WordPress-based institutional website (managed by i-médias, the university's DSI), which aggregates all faculty information — programs, admissions, international relations, student life, research labs, and news.
