IHETC Campus
Life on the digital campus
A cohort, regular gatherings, clubs opened by the students themselves and exchanges that stay written down. Here is what happens between modules, and how to take part.
What makes a cohort
A cohort is not a list of names: it is a group crossing the same modules on the same dates. The digital campus builds on that fact to organise encounters — every course opens its space, every assessment creates a shared moment, every project requires a team.
A forum per course
Questions and answers stay written and readable all year: what has been explained once benefits everyone.
Study groups
Formed around a module or a deadline, they meet by video call at the hour that suits the group.
Peer review
Reading someone else's work teaches as much as your own: cross-review is built into several modules each semester.
Clubs opened by students
A space, a channel and a calendar slot are granted on simple request, for any initiative carried by the cohort.
The year's gatherings
- 01
The intake session
The cohort meets live, discovers the dated work plan and makes contact with the faculty adviser.
- 02
Weekly workshops
A teacher from the field, a small group, work due by the end of the session. Recorded for anyone catching up later.
- 03
Project milestone reviews
Teams present their progress before the cohort and leave with their peers' remarks.
- 04
In-person gatherings
Set in the calendar from the intake for programmes that genuinely benefit, and streamed for anyone coming from afar.
What the cohort represents
A cohort forms around a programme and its 7 modules on average, taken on the same dates by the whole group. That simultaneity is what makes mutual support possible: at a distance, the difficulty is never distance itself — it is asynchrony.

Questions about student life
How do I meet other students?
The intake session opens the cohort, course forums keep it alive, and group projects require it. On top of that come the clubs, which a student opens on simple request with a space, a channel and a calendar slot.
Can I take part from a low-bandwidth area?
Yes. Forums and submissions work in text and synchronise when the signal returns; live workshops are recorded and replayed. Cohort life is read and written — it does not assume a permanent video stream.
