Using education technology

Sciences Po provides you with a digital working and course management environment (Faculty account (student attendance and marks, etc.), email, Google Apps, wifi, etc.) and a digital teaching ecosystem (digital tools to use in your courses).

WORKING ENVIRONMENT

The account to access Sciences Po’s online tools (Google G Suite, Moodle, WiFi, library, etc.) is automatically generated.

As a member of faculty, you have two sets of login credentials:

  • A username and password for your firstname.lastname@sciencespo.fr email account (Google G Suite email and apps, access to classroom computers, WiFi, registration for events, digital library resources, etc.)
  • Your faculty number (only to login to your faculty account)

Good to know: you can use WiFi to connect to the Internet and your email account on your own computer in all Sciences Po buildings.

Access your faculty account

Direct access: https://scolarite-en.sciences-po.fr.

You can also access it from any Sciences Po website: on the menu at the top of the page, select the “Faculty” tab, then click “Faculty Account”.

Logging in

Once you are on the login page, enter:

  • your 9-digit ID number—this is provided by the programme secretary and appears on your faculty card.
  • your password, composed by default of the last 6 digits of your faculty number. When you log in for the first time, you are asked to change your password and enter a secret question to recover your password if you forget it.

Google G Suite facilitates communication with students by automatically generating a “course group” that can be used for sharing materials and group work. The members of this group are the instructors and the students registered for the course.

The Ouriginal system is a tool to detect plagiarism (PDF, 59 Ko) in work submitted in electronic format.

To use the software, students must send their work in text format from their Sciences Po email to the instructor’s Ouriginal address (firstname.lastname.scpo@analyse.urkund.com).

This address is preconfigured in the Google G Suite contacts for each student enrolled in your class. The document is stored and analysed on the Ouriginal server.

All documents are checked against three types of “comparative corpus”: the Internet, published material (books, magazines, press) and texts previously submitted by other students (more than 33 billion documents).

Training sessions are offered throughout the year to help you get up to speed on using the platform and its functionalities.
