Learning to Act in a Changing World
At KEDGE, we see pedagogy as the engine of student transformation.
Driven by a faculty that lies at its core, our pedagogical approach guides learners in developing their capacity for action, in service of a society that is more sustainable, more ethical, and more resilient.
Our Pedagogical Identity
Our pedagogy rests on four commitments that underpin all our initiatives:
Choosing AI-Augmented, Not AI-Dependent Pedagogy
The defining transformation of our era is artificial intelligence, fundamentally reshaping how we learn and teach. In the face of this deep-seated shift, our priority is clear: academic excellence first, innovation as a means. We develop graduates who can perform with and without AI, equipped with genuine critical thinking and intellectual autonomy.
To achieve this, our pedagogical identity is expressed through three pillars:
Integrity and Authentic Assessment
A KEDGE degree certifies real knowledge and real skills (analyzing, reasoning, decision-making, defending a position). We therefore guarantee mastery of the fundamentals and are rethinking our assessment practices for the AI era. These are capabilities that cannot be outsourced.
- Academic integrity charter, governing AI use within an ethical and transparent framework, embedded in all syllabi
- Authentic assessments, grounded in real professional situations and built around a protocol that evaluates process rather than outcome
- Redefinition of competencies for the AI era, developed in collaboration with the CDEFM
Experimentation Lab
Pedagogical innovation cannot be mandated : it must be tested, evaluated, and shared. Our faculty continuously explore new ways of teaching, learning, and assessing, turning AI and active learning methods into genuine drivers of learning outcomes. A permanent laboratory at the service of the student experience.
- FOSH Forward, an AI-powered serious game in which students take on the role of intrapreneurs and pitch their CSR innovation project to decision-makers played by conversational AI agents.
- An experimental course integrating AI-augmented peer assessment, where intelligent agents support both faculty and students in delivering reliable feedback at scale.
- An AI pedagogical tutor, currently under development, using a Socratic approach to guide students through questioning and help them become more effective learners.
Augmented Pedagogies
Learning is an experience. We place immersion at the heart of our approach: role-play scenarios, gamification, and simulated environments turn knowledge into lasting skills. AI and digital tools do not replace the instructor : they amplify the reach of every learning experience. Learning by doing, retain for the long term.
- The Getlink digital case study, which places students in a real professional situation and enables learning through doing.
- The IMPACT project, where virtual reality engages all the senses through full immersion, giving knowledge meaning and making it stick
- The AI Bootcamp, completed by all our students for over two years now — a first step toward an informed understanding and confident use of this technology.
A Faculty Community Engaged Year-Round
Pedagogical excellence is built collectively. Throughout the year, we bring our faculty community together through key events that fuel reflection, encourage experimentation, and spread best practices. Innovating together, continuously.
- Pedagogical project calls for proposals, which support faculty initiatives every year. The 2025 edition recognized three standout projects: IMPACT (an immersive environment for Supply Chain Management, led by Matthieu Lauras, Nafe Moradkhani, Yann Bouchery, and Olivier Labarthe), Warehouse Wizards (warehouse management reimagined as a role-playing game, by Alexandre Lavissière), and an AI Socratic coaching agent for Business Intelligence projects (Jorge Andrés Clarke De la Cerda).
- The Pedagogical Innovation Award, which recognizes the Faculty's most inspiring initiatives each year. In 2026, the Grand Prix went to Isabelle Ducassy for the Getlink digital case study, the Innovation and Impact Award to Mehdi Amiri Aref for his Strategic Distribution Optimizer, and the Audience Favorite Award to Johanna Volpert for her generative AI-augmented case study preparation program.
- K-fé Innov', monthly peer exchange sessions on emerging topics, such as PitchPAL, a chatbot designed to help students prepare pitches in Business English, and the use of BB Ultra AI Conversation to give students practice in qualitative interviews with professionals simulated by AI.
- The Pedagogical Committee, which meets every two months to address all pedagogy-related matters raised by programs, departments, and the academic leadership.
- The Faculty Convention, which brings the entire faculty together once a year to reflect on their practices and experiences, and to explore new pedagogical and strategic approaches.
