The health situation related to the Covid-19 pandemic has made containment one of the key measures to combat the spread of the virus. However, its impact, especially in the educational world, is hotly debated. The AI for Schools Foundation has taken an interest in this subject and is publishing a white paper on the mobilization of digital tools and resources during the containment period.

After much debate, the impact of confinement has been particularly felt in the educational world. With 12.4 million pupils back in school, it is time to take stock. What lessons can be drawn from this unprecedented period? By focusing on the mobilization of digital tools and resources during containment, the IA for School Foundation is adding its stone to the edifice in understanding this period.

By moving from an educational option to a health necessity, containment has considerably transformed perceptions and uses around digital education. Particularly under scrutiny, distance education has exposed the digital divide all the more. Many challenges remain: equipment, training, adaptation of teaching methods, etc. Thus, it is from a dual perspective of inventory and palliative proposals based on artificial intelligence that the white paper of the Fondation Intelligence Artificielle pour l’École-Institut de France (Artificial Intelligence Foundation for the French School-Institute) is based, involving Michel Authier, Jean-Gabriel Ganascia, Jean-Marc Merriaux, Emmanuel Davidenkoff, Frédéric Gavat, Philippe Delorme, David Lacombled, Marie-Caroline Missir and Serge Tisseron, among others.
