Abstract
The presentation will first briefly introduce CRASH (Centre for Research in Acoustics-Signal-Human) of the UdeS (Université de Sherbrooke), to be followed by examples of the research conducted by Olivier Robin.
The presentation will display some unusual teaching materials that he identified or developed, with a focus on comics.
