This article addresses the impact of new media on concepts of landscape. More precisely, it concerns artistic projects using new media that incorporate elements of nature. It shows how these projects participate in an economy of landscape, but at the same time reformulate the very principles associated with the genre. Four projects are presented as case studies: Glenlandia (2005–07) by Susan Collins, Osmose (1995) by Charlotte Davies, Tele-Garden (1995–2004) by Kenneth Goldberg and Joseph Santarromana, and One Tree(s) (1999–) by Natalie Jeremijenko. In essence, these projects deal not with ecology so much as with new spatio-temporal relations of the perceiving subject with nature, relations always mediated by the concept of landscape. As defined by “ecosophy,” these spatio-temporal relations are open to exploration and adaptation characterized by continuous change. These changes include distortion, movement, and a form of blindness that weaken the dominant position of vision in human perception of the world. The projects in question overturn the opposition between humanity and nature that had been, from the beginning of the modern era, the basis of landscape, a genre characterized by frontality, alterity, and pure opticality.

The aim of this study is to explore quantitatively the existence of links between beliefs and knowledge about grade repetition that future teachers hold and their general conceptions of teaching. To do this, a questionnaire was administered to 592 students enrolled in primary teacher training at the University of Geneva. The results show that it is the knowledge of research on the effects of grade repetition that best explains the belief in disfavour of the practice and vice versa. This data is essential for the initial and continuing training in teacher education because it signals the need and the importance of theoretical knowledge.

The impact of online courses on students' motivation, academic engagement, and satisfaction of psychological needs during the first waves of COVID-19 was examined with a questionnaire administered to a sample of teachers in training (n = 272) of a French-speaking university in Montreal (Canada). Analysis of the data reveals that participants were less motivated, less engaged and had more problems meeting their psychological needs in online courses than in traditional face-to-face classes. These results are discussed from the perspective of literature currently available on the subject and future developments in online training.

Computerized adaptative testing (CAT) still have a host of advantages but also some drawbacks. For example, as Wainer (2000, p. xxiii) stated, high stake tests like exams are not good candidates for computerized tests. Also, as the number of items is limited in CAT, the process of detecting biased (DIF) items is vital. This paper suggests a DIF method specially aimed at identifying biased items in a CAT context. A person-fit index for adaptive testing will also be proposed.

In Canada, communities that are referred to under the acronym OLMC (official language minority communities) often struggle to maintain a demographic weight that is sufficient to ensure their development. On the basis of the results of an analysis of the enrolment statistics at Laurentian University from academic year 2001-2002 until academic year 2017-2018, this article addresses a number of factors that tend to bring down OLMC's demographic weight. It also discusses initiatives that can counter the impact of those factors.
