FAQ
- Fun is a platform for online courses (Mooc). These courses are created by higher education institutions and French-speaking partners. Depending on the course, you can earn either a course badge or an optional certification (for an additional fee).
Fun also offers paid professional training courses leading to micro-certifications.
- Courses on Fun are open to all, and designed for anyone wishing to acquire new knowledge and strengthen their personal or professional skills.
- The platform offers free registration for open-access courses and paid registration for professional training courses.
The free courses take place in the form of sessions or at your own pace, and may offer a free follow-up badge, an optional certificate for a fee or be made available as self-training.
Professional training courses are chargeable and are offered in the form of micro-certifications, which are short qualification courses lasting from 7 to 30 hours. A ‘Micro-certification’ label is used to identify professional training courses.
- The MOOCs available on FUN are free. The aim of France Université Numérique is to make high-quality educational resources available to everyone. A badge may be offered free of charge (subject to successful completion) for the courses concerned.
Some establishments offer certification courses for which a fee is charged. You can identify these courses by the red ‘Certifying’ icon in the catalogue. The fee is shown on the course presentation page.
A course offering a fee-paying certificate does not always issue a follow-up badge. Certifying courses are always free if you do not wish to subscribe to the certificate.
FUN also offers paid professional training courses which enable you to obtain paid micro-certificates. The price is shown on the page for each course.
- We are an online course platform created by French higher education institutions and partners, and registration with us is free of charge.
In this sense, registration for courses on our platform does not constitute registration in one of the institutions producing the courses, and therefore, no certificate of attendance can be issued.
- A course on FUN takes the form of a scheduled session, during which the course and assessments are accessible. The course is led by the pedagogical team. A forum is available for discussion with other learners and the teaching team. Course sequences are accessible during the course session.
To earn your follow-up badge, you must complete the assessments by the deadline and achieve the minimum score required (score varies by course).
To obtain your certificate, once you have subscribed to it, you must sit the online exam and pass it.
- Most courses on the FUN platform are offered in French.
However, we do have a few international courses in our catalog.
In addition, more and more courses offer subtitles for video content in French and/or English.

FUN only offers badges or certificates for the FUN Mooc's courses.

If you were registered during the registration period, you can access the course content as long as it is made available by the teaching team.

- You can access your dashboard (https://lms.fun-mooc.fr/dashboard) by clicking on the drop-down menu to the right of your username. It will show the list of courses in which you are enrolled.

- If you have a problem with your assessments, quizzes, your badge or certificate, or access to course resources, you can contact the teaching team directly via the relevant course discussion forum.

As soon as the badges are generated, you will receive an email (from Open Badge Factory [OBF]) allowing you to retrieve your badge (It is expected that the link will also be available on the badge request component of the course). Delays can sometimes make generation times longer.
- The fact that you have applied for a badge before completing your course has no impact on your ability to complete the course and obtain your follow-up badge.
If you meet the minimum score requirements, you will obtain your follow-up badge at the end of the course. Your request will already have been sent.
However, if you are not eligible for the badge at the end of the course, you will not be able to benefit obtain it.
