After years of experimentation and research, OpenClassrooms is designing a pedagogical model for the future: harmoniously merging online courses and human coaching, project-based and competency-driven, leading to state-endorsed diplomas and degrees with a job guarantee. 

Starting from scratch, OpenClassrooms now gathers three million learners every month, across 130 countries. Pierre Dubuc will give a thorough explanation of what he's learned along the way, and how the OpenClassrooms experiment could help shape a new paradigm in higher education. 

Dubuc is the CEO and co-founder of OpenClassrooms, a scale-up EdTech headquartered in Paris, France.
