Teaching methods

Self-paced online course. The course is completed entirely independently by the end of the course deadline. You will study the material in an online learning environment, which includes study materials and assignments/tests. No personal feedback will be provided on the assignments. [Clarify whether artificial intelligence can be utilized.]

Learning materials

[Enter information on the books and articles to be used. Contact your Laurea library well in advance to let the library know the study unit for which you need the books and the number of students in the study unit. The library can also help you find a suitable knowledge basis.]

Student workload

Workload of the study is measured in a way that to acquire the goal competence of the study, one credit corresponds to an average of 26.7 hours of work done by the student. The actual time needed varies e.g. according to prior competence. [You can evaluate the student’s time management in different assignments. A tool for calculating the workload is available in the “Implementations” menu of the teacher’s desktop in Peppi (xMOOC workload calculator).]

Content scheduling

[Describe the content by using the vocabulary used in the world of work. Note that if the implementation is part of open UAS studies, this field will act as the marketing text in the online shop. Eg. if you are teaching the basics of programming, tell also which language you are teaching. From this field you should be able to find same words, which are being used in job postings. The field will be used in a service using AI to match studies, jobs and personal competences. ]

Completion alternatives

[Leave the text below as it is. If needed, enter text here regarding other alternative completion methods.] According to the degree regulations (2024), Students are entitled to apply for recognition of prior learning regardless of where, when and how the competence has been acquired. ... At Laurea, there are two different procedures for the recognition and accreditation of prior learning: a) accreditation of prior learning (competence acquired in higher education studies at another institution) and b) demonstration of competence (competence acquired in other ways). The recognition and accreditation of prior learning is initiated by the student themselves. The student is responsible for demonstrating and verifying their competence. The student is entitled to guidance for the recognition and accreditation of their competence. Further information in the student intranet. You may also assess work-based learning as a way to acquire the competence needed. Read more in the student intranet.
