Logo des JRES

Les Journées Réseau de l’Enseignement et de la Recherche (JRES) sont, depuis 1995, une conférence biennale réunissant les membres de la communauté des technicien·ne·s et ingénieur·e·s en informatique pour l’enseignement supérieur et la recherche français. Elles sont un forum d'échange et de transfert de compétences. La prochaine édition se déroulera du 8 au 11 décembre 2026 au palais des congrès, à Tours.

Le logiciel libre est au cœur du métier de nombreux participant·es de la conférence, comme en témoignent le nombre important d’articles des éditions précédentes s’appuyant sur des solutions libres (https://jres.hal.science/). Pour cette raison, nous avons associé à l’événement, depuis plusieurs éditions, les associations promouvant le libre et son usage. Des stands et des entrées sont offerts gracieusement aux associations de promotion du logiciel libre qui acceptent de participer à l’événement.

La place du logiciel libre sera d’autant plus importante pour cette édition 2026 dont le slogan sera « Ingéniosité et Audace ».

Vous êtes les bienvenu·e·s dans le « village du libre » de la conférence : un espace dédié au logiciel libre, bien identifié, convivial avec la possibilité d’y faire facilement des animations qui valoriseront votre association.

Rejoignez-nous !

Vous pouvez envoyer à Contact village du libre votre envie de participation avant mai 2026 en présentant votre association.

Pour le Comité de Programme JRES 2026

Microsoft: Computer Programming Is Dying, Long Live AI Literacy

theodp writes: On Tuesday, Microsoft GM of Education and Workforce Policy (and former Code.org Chief Academic Officer) Pat Yongpradit posted an obituary of sorts for coders. "Computer programmers and software developers are codified differently in the BLS [Bureau of Labor Statistics] data," Yongpradit wrote. "The modern AI-infused world needs less computer programmers (coders) and more software developers (more holistic and higher level). So when folks say that there is less hiring of computer programmers, they are right. But there will be more hiring of software developers, especially those who have adopted an AI-forward mindset and skillset. [...] The number of just pure computer programming roles has already been declining due to reasons like outsourcing, AI will just accelerate the decline." On Wednesday, Yongpradit's colleague Allyson Knox, Senior Director of Education and Workforce Policy at Microsoft, put another AI nail in the coder coffin, testifying before the House Committee on Education -- the Workforce Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education on Building an AI-ready America: Teaching in the Age of AI. "Thank you to Chairman Tim Walberg, Ranking Member Bobby Scott, Chair Kevin Kiley, Ranking Member Suzanne Bonamici and members of the Subcommittee for the opportunity to share Microsoft perspective and that of the educators and parents we hear from every day across the country," Knox wrote in a LinkedIn post. "Three themes continue to emerge throughout these discussions: 1. Educators want support to build AI literacy and critical thinking skills. 2. Schools need guidance and guardrails to ensure student data is protected and adults remain in control. 3. Teachers want classroom-ready tools, and a voice in shaping them. If we focus on these priorities, we can help ensure AI expands opportunity for every student across the United States." Yongpradit and Knox report up to Microsoft President Brad Smith, who last July told Code.org CEO Hadi Partovi it was time for the tech-backed nonprofit to "switch hats" from coding to AI as Microsoft announced a new $4 billion initiative to advance AI education. Smith's thoughts on the extraordinary promise of AI in education were cited by Knox in her 2026 Congressional testimony. Interestingly, Knox argued for the importance of computer programming literacy in her 2013 Congressional testimony at a hearing on Our Nation of Builders: Training the Builders of the Future. "Congress needs to come up with fresh ideas on how we can continue to train the next generation of builders, programmers, manufacturers, technicians and entrepreneurs," said Rep. Lee Terry said to open the discussion. So, are reports of computer programming's imminent death greatly exaggerated?

What's the Point of School When AI Can Do Your Homework?

✇Slashdot

An anonymous reader quotes a report from 404 Media: There's a new agentic AI called Einstein that will, according to its developers, live the life of a student for them. Einstein's website claims that the AI will attend lectures for you, write your papers, and even log into EdTech platforms like Canvas to take tests and participate in discussions. Educators told me that Einstein is just one of many AI tools that can do homework for students, but should be seen as a warning to schools that are increasingly seen by students as a place to gain a diploma and status as opposed to the value of education itself. If an AI can go to school for you what's the point of going to school? For Advait Paliwal, Brown dropout and co-creator of Einstein, there isn't one. "I think about horses," he said. "They used to pull carriages, but when cars came around, I'd argue horses became a lot more free," he said. "They can do whatever they want now. It would be weird if horses revolted and said 'no, I want to pull carriages, this is my purpose in life.'" But humans aren't horses. "This is much bigger than Einstein," Matthew Kirschenbaum told 404 Media. "Einstein is symptomatic. I doubt we'll be talking about Einstein, as such, in a year. But it's symptomatic of what's about to descend on higher ed and secondary ed as well." [...] The attractiveness of agentic AIs is a symptom of a decades-long trend in higher education. "Universitiesby and large adopted a transactive model of education," Kirschenbaum said. "Students see their diploma as a credential. They pay tuition and at the end of four years, sometimes five years, they receive the credential and, in theory at least, that is then the springboard to economic stability and prosperity." Paliwal seems to agree. He told 404 Media that he attempted to change the university from the inside while working as a TA, but felt stymied by politics. "The only way to force these institutions to evolve is to bring reality to their face. And usually the loudest critics are the ones who can't do their own job well and live in fear of automation," he said. "I think we really need to question what learning even is and whether traditional educational institutions are actually helping or harming us," said Paliwal. "We're seeing a rise in unemployment across degree holders because of AI, and that makes me question whether this is really what humans are born to do. We've been brainwashed as a society into valuing ourselves by the output of our productive work, and I think humanity is a lot more beautiful than that. Is it really education if we're just memorizing things to perform a task well?" Kirschenbaum added: "What we're finding is that if forms of education can be transacted then we've just about arrived at the point where autonomous software AI agents are capable of performing the transaction on your behalf," he said. "And so the whole educational paradigm has come back to essentially bite itself in the ass."

The US Spent $30 Billion on Classroom Laptops and Got the First Generation Less Capable Than Its Parents

✇Slashdot
Par : msmash

More than two decades after Maine became the first state to hand laptops to middle schoolers -- distributing 17,000 Apple machines across 243 schools in 2002 -- neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath told a U.S. Senate committee earlier this year that Gen Z is the first generation in modern history to score lower on standardized tests than the one before it. The U.S. spent more than $30 billion in 2024 alone putting laptops and tablets in classrooms, and Horvath cited PISA data from 15-year-olds worldwide showing a stark correlation between time on school computers and worse scores. A 2014 study of 3,000 university students found they were off-task on their machines nearly two-thirds of the time. Fortune reported back in 2017 that Maine's own test scores hadn't budged in the 15 years since the program launched, and then-governor Paul LePage called it a "massive failure." Horvath framed the generation's eroding capabilities not as a personal failure but a policy one, calling them victims of a failed pedagogical experiment.

Workshops on Demand version 1.0.2

✇LinuxFr.org : les dépêches
Par : Cornec Bruno · Florent Zara · Julien Jorge
23 février 2026 à 13:32

Nous avons travaillé dur avec mon collègue Frédéric Passeron pour préparer l'atelier donné lors du récent AlpOSS 2026 (gros succès au passage !) consacré à notre outillage Workshops on Demand (ou WoD).

Logo Workshop On Demand

Maintenant que nous en avons le temps, nous avons publié la version 1.0.2 utilisée pour cet atelier que nous considérons comme stable et prête à être utilisée par toute structure pour proposer une plateforme de transfert de connaissances basée sur les NoteBooks Jupyter.

Pour rappel (ou découverte pour ceux découvrant notre projet !) nous fournissons une plateforme de 3 machines (frontend, API-DB, backend) que vous pouvez installer automatiquement (VM ou physique) et qui fournissent un portail d'enregistrement fonctionnel pour permettre l'accès à 20 Notebooks sur diverses technologies FLOSS (Open Source et/ou Libres) qui sont gérés par un JupyterHub sur le backend, le tout orchestré par des APIs REST et SMTP/procmail APIs (description simplifiée, plus de détails via notre USER GUIDE).

En déployant cette pile, vos utilisateurs pourront s'auto-enregistrer pour suivre un Notebook choisi dans notre+votre catalogue de sujets, dérouler le Noteboook pour acquérir les connaissances qui y sont décrites, sans intervention de votre part, la plateforme gérant les inscriptions et effacements de demandeurs en autonomie (mais sans IA dedans, juste de la logique, du code des APIs et une Base de Données !).

Portail des Workshops à la demande

Et comme pour tout bon projet construisant sa communauté, nous vous encourageons à souscrire à notre mailing-list pour recevoir de l'aide, apporter des retours, être informés des nouveautés,… Simple comme envoyer ce mail ou cliquer sur ce lien.

Et nous espérons des contributions, en particulier des contenus complémentaires que vous voudriez promouvoir au travers de notre solution WoD.

Derrière le rêve de l’école 100 % IA, un cauchemar de surveillance pour les élèves

Derrière la promesse d'une éducation dopée à l'intelligence artificielle, le réseau scolaire américain Alpha School cache une réalité brutale : celle de cours incohérents, d’un plagiat industriel et d’une surveillance constante des élèves.
