What RÉCIT – Service national – Domaine du développement de la personne does

RÉCIT – Service national – Domaine du développement de la personne (RÉCIT DP) is the Quebec government-designated national service for digital competency development in personal-development subjects within the province's public school network. It is mandated by the Ministère de l'Éducation du Québec and hosted administratively by the Centre de services scolaire de Saint-Hyacinthe. The service operates across four subject-area mandates: Culture et citoyenneté québécoise (CCQ), Éducation physique et à la santé (ÉPS), Éducation à la sexualité, and Citoyenneté à l'ère du numérique (CITNUM), serving teachers, pedagogical counselors, and indirectly students from préscolaire through secondaire across all Quebec centres de services scolaires.

RÉCIT DP does not develop proprietary commercial technology. Instead, it produces and disseminates digital educational resources (REN) and pedagogical tools — including interactive learning templates (canevas), sports court visualizations, anatomy resources, and the AI-assisted Outil de création de requêtes en CCQ — that run on or alongside commercial platforms such as Lumio, Google Slides, Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, genially, Dartfish, and various mobile timer and screen-mirroring applications. Its two flagship digital channels are Campus RÉCIT, a learning management and training platform hosting webinars, workshops, and self-paced courses, and École ouverte, an open repository for searching and accessing digital resources under Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA 4.0) licensing.

The service is publicly funded and provided free of charge to end users; it has no commercial revenue model, no pricing structure, and no disclosed funding-round history. Its go-to-market motion is community-led, combining direct accompaniment of school service centres, facilitation of recognized communities of practice (CoP) offering accredited professional-development hours, virtual networking sessions (VIA-ÉS), and a multi-channel presence across Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and seasonal newsletters. The organization has formal content partnerships with École en réseau and LEARN (Québec), and its continued operation is structurally contingent on ongoing ministerial designation and budget allocation.
