Abstract
Information technology is a significant challenge for teachers involved in training translators, the prototype of teleworking professions. This article presents an approach that integrates technology into the day-to-day teaching of a range of disciplines. The University of Granada, Spain, offers a four-year first-degree program in Translation and Interpreting. The innovative, collaborative learning project we describe is an online simulation of work in a translation agency. We believe it enhances the quality of translator training within the university context.

Résumé
Les technologies de l’information sont un défi important pour les professionnels de l’enseignement de la traduction, métier étroitement lié au télétravail. Les auteurs présentent une nouvelle approche qui intègre les technologies à l’enseignement quotidien de matières liées à la traduction et des matières connexes, dans le cadre du DESS de traduction et d’interprétation, (d’une durée de quatre ans) offert à l’Université de Grenade (Espagne). Il s’agit d’une simulation en ligne des conditions de travail d´une agence de traduction. Les professeurs participants estiment que cette approche améliore la qualité de l’enseignement de la traduction à l’université.
