In other words, the study unit will be implemented as a blended learning format throughout the summer semester, meaning that, in addition to independent study, there will one contact teaching sessions, which will not be recorded nor live-streamed at the Leppävaara campus and three ZOOM sessions. Participation in contact teaching sessions and guidance meetings are optional but highly recommended. The study unit requires active engagement and commitment to interactive learning.

Learning materials and recommended literature

Literature has been given for each module in the Canvas workspace and the student will also look for the appropriate literature by himself/herself for the assignments. Examples of Literature:

1)Steerling, S. et al (2012), Business Continuity For Dummies (ebook) Parts I, II and III
2)Hotchkiss, Stuart (2010), Business Continuity Management: In Practice (ebook) [available through Laurea Finna with Laurea credentials]

Alternative completion methods of implementation

According to Laurea's degree regulations, "All students are entitled to demonstrate their competence. The recognition and accreditation of prior competence is initiated by the students themselves. The competence is recognized and accredited by the teacher responsible for the studies or another person designated to the position.

The assessment is carried out according to the same assessment criteria and, as a rule, same grading scale as that adopted for the corresponding study unit or module.

The student is entitled to apply for accreditation of prior competence regardless of where, how and when the competence has been acquired. The student may also seek accreditation of competence to be acquired on the job as part of their degree (work-based learning). The competence to be accredited must be in line with the learning outcomes of the degree programme’s curriculum. The student is responsible for demonstrating and verifying their competence and for providing sufficient information.

Students should apply for the accreditation of prior competence at the beginning of their studies, so they can progress in their studies without interruption. However, students are entitled to apply for accreditation of prior competence throughout their studies."
