Introduction to CILSH
The CILSH’s main remit is to teach computer science to students of arts and humanities. It offers general or specialism-related course modules (UE), which may be compulsory for certain degree programmes or taken as options in others, for students from the first year of the Bachelor’s degree to the second year of the Master’s degree at the ALLSH Faculty.
The computer rooms in the multimedia centre can be made available to the various departments of AMU for their own teaching purposes by submitting a request via ADE.
Since the 2018/2019 academic year, the CILSH has been responsible for the ‘Pix’ teaching unit, now known as ‘Digital Tools’ (HON3U01 / HON4U01), COMPULSORY FOR ALL STUDENTS in their second year of the Bachelor’s degree in Arts and Humanities and in other departments. This course module trains over 5,000 students a year and may lead to the PIX certification.

All second-year undergraduates, regardless of their degree programme, must take the module

Introduction to the HON3U01 / HON4U01 module ‘Digital Tools’
This course is based on the PIX certification, a public initiative aligned with the European DIGCOMP reference framework.
The aim is to enable you to work independently on a computer and to acquire essential skills for your further studies and your professional life.
Through online challenges, designed like fun games, you will learn by using tools in real-life situations, which will enable you to develop a more holistic way of thinking and apply these skills in your everyday life.All the necessary information is available on AMETICE.
Please note that you must take this course even if you have already obtained your Pix certification at secondary school. This is because the learning outcomes and the level required are different.
