BIO

An engineer by training, Pierre Dubuc is a graduate from Institut national des Sciences appliquées (INSA, Lyon).

He was in his early teens when in 2002 he joined the e-education community around “Le Site du Zero” website, founded in 1999 by 13-y-o geek Mathieu Nebra. Very fast Pierre was among the most active members, and he had hardly turned 18 when in 2007, along with Mathieu, he founded Simple IT, a company dedicated to developing the project.

In 2013, after raising 1,2 million euro and investing in IT, Le Site du Zero was renamed OpenClassrooms.

La révolution des MOOCs a pris de cours les universités et pourrait modifier en profondeur le paysage de l'enseignement supérieur. Mais quels seront les modèles économiques de ces nouveaux acteurs? Les grandes plateformes américaines ont-elles déjà gagné leur pari, et reste-t-il de la place pour les outsiders?
The sudden and widespread advent of Massive Online Open Courses took universities by surprise and could potentially bring in-depth changes in the Higher Education scene. Still, major questions remain unsolved, such as: what business models are adapted to the new educational actors? Have the major American platforms already won the day, or is there still room for outsiders?
