Hamadou

We will present The Virtual Graduate Study Consortium (VGSC), an initiative to synergically support IEEE EdSoc Educational Standards development. We will particularly be presenting our current 2024 funded project, entitled “Producing Use Cases for IEEE Std. 1876 - 2019 Standards on Networked Smart Learning Objects for Online  Laboratories and IEEE SA P2834 Standards on Secure and Trusted Learning Systems”.
The support is an incentive for IEEE Education Society student and teacher-researcher members participating in standards development activities sponsored or co-sponsored by EdSoc stakeholders including industrial partners. They will then be mentored and contribute to the dissemination, popularization, valorization and maintenance of the developed standards.
