My main current research interests are threefold:

1. Didactics of informatics: how are new contents introduced in the clasroom, with which effects, which student learning?
2. How ICT innovations in educational settings eventually transform themselves into everyday realities?
3. Historical study of pedagogical ideas and values linked with educational technology.

I have had a long history of research direction, having supervized 27 PhD theses and 5 habilitations to direct researches.

One of my main interest is francophony: I have participated in a lot of research projects funded by Agence universitaire de la Francophonie. But I also have much interest in international cooperation in general. I’m doctor honoris causa of the University of Patras (Greece).

Currently, I'm:

• editor in chief of an English speaking journal : https://e-journal.iartem.org.
• Rédacteur en chef of the journal http://www.adjectif.net.
• Member of the board of the scienfific interest group 2if (Groupement d'intérêt scientifique 2if : Innovation, Interdisciplinarité et Formation) : https://gis2if.org.
