Excelia Innovation Driving Educational Excellence
Because experiential learning and people are at the heart of our educational approach,
Excelia develops innovative learning environments to transform the educational experience and prepare students for the challenges of the future.
These contexts of pedagogical innovation foster creativity in each school within the group, enabling lecturers to reinvent their teaching practices and explore new ways of learning, experimenting and collaborating with students.
Our mission is clear: to reinvent higher education through immersive, experiential and interactive pedagogies.
Immersive Learning Experience®
Excelia has developed Immersive Learning Experience® (ILE®), an innovative educational approach that combines immersive technologies, experimentation and active learning methods.

The objective: to enable students to experience learning rather than simply listen to it.
Through this approach, learners can:
- experience complex situations
- collaborate in interactive environments
- learn through simulation and practice
- develop critical skills for the professional world
ILE® experiences therefore offer a more immersive, more collaborative and more engaging learning experience.
XL Factory : a learning space dedicated to innovation
The XL Factory is a learning space dedicated to the experimentation of technologies and new digital uses.
Thanks to its four complementary workspaces, the XL Factory enables students to:
- gain a practical understanding of the challenges of digital transformation
- experiment with immersive and collaborative technologies
- discover the digital tools used in organisations
- develop a practical approach to innovation
This learning environment enables students to understand the meaning, uses and tools behind what digital transformation truly is, while preparing them for the technologies and practices they will encounter in the professional world of tomorrow.
