The Virtual Campus

A model ofthe Virtual Campus is introduced as a result of course development at Tele-universite, as weil as a product of the research conducted at its research center, LICEF. The Virtual Campus model is based on the networking of a diversified array of actors and resources. lts aim is to offer an access, in real time and in asynchronous mode, to a variety of learning resources: other learners, trainers and tutors, content experts, managers and designers. These different actors communicate with distant computer-based servers offering multimedia documents, courseware, integrated tools for task achievement and training, individual or group message files, projects and activities. We present here a survey of six different telelearning models describe LICEF's Virtual Campus model, its actors and their functions, the process in which they participate and the roJe they play, as weil as the virtual spaces of resources they use. We also present five different implementations of the model and we outline future research and development in this field. Resurne Le concept de campus virtuel est ici explore et presente dans Je contexte de Ia Teleuniversite et de son centre de recherche, Je LICEF. Le Campus virtuel propose repose sur Ia mise en reseau d'acteurs et de moyens diversifies. II vise a offrir un acces, en direct et en differe, a diverses ressources d'apprentissage: autres apprenants, formateurs et tuteurs, experts de contenu, gestionnaires, professeursconcepteurs. Ces differents acteurs ont acces a des serveurs informatiques leur offrant des documents multimedias, des logiciels, des outils de travail et de formation, des fichiers de messages individuels ou collectifs, des travaux a realiser. Nous presentons six modeles techno-pedagogiques de formation a distance, puis nous exposons Je modele de Campus Virtuel du LICEF, ses acteurs et leurs fonctions, !es processus auxquels ils participent et !es röles qu'ils y jouent, ainsi que !es cinq espaces virtuels dans lesquels ils evoluent. Nous faisons aussi etat de cinq implantations du modele, ainsi que des perspectives de recherche et de developpement dans ce domaine.
