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.]

Teaching methods

[Enter the following key information on the study unit implementation: implementation method, learning environment, and guidance and communication practices. In particular, describing the working methods is important for students. You can use and edit the sentence templates below, which have been listed by mode of implementation. Remember to state and justify if attendance is mandatory. Remove any unnecessary text (incl. subheadings). Also clarify whether artificial intelligence can be utilized.

Fully automated implementation:

The study unit is completed independently following a schedule for returning assingments / by a given deadline. Self-direction is required. The study unit does not include meetings or working in pairs or groups. You will study in a Canvas learning environment which includes learning material and assingments/tests. You will not receive individual feedback for assignments: feedback is based on checking the accuracy of the assingments and giving out model answers after the assignments have been returned.

Partly automated implementation:

The study unit is completed partly independently following a schedule for returning assingments / by a given deadline. In addition to independent studying, the study unit includes scheduled teaching or guidance online. Recordings of the teaching sessions can be viewed on Canvas afterwards. The study unit does not include working in pairs or groups. You will not receive individual feedback for assignments from the teacher: feedback is based on checking the accuracy of the assignments, giving out model answers after the assignments have been returned, and giving peer feedback.

Interactive online implementation:

The study unit is conducted online and does not require attendance on campus. The study unit includes scheduled teaching or guidance online, which is not recorded / is recorded (and can be viewed on Canvas afterwards). The study unit includes working in pairs or groups. The study unit requires active participation and commitment to interactive studying. You will receive individual feedback for assignments from the teacher, and working life or peer feedback may also be utilised.

Blended learning implementation:

A Canvas learning environment is used to support the implementation. The study unit includes scheduled teaching and guidance both on campus and online. Online teaching is not recorded / is recorded (and the recording can be viewed afterwards). The study unit includes working in pairs or groups. You will receive individual feedback for assignments from the teacher, and working life or peer feedback may also be utilised.

Daytime learning:

A Canvas learning environment is used to support the implementation, but it is important to take part in teaching and guidance on campus according to schedule. The study unit includes working in pairs or groups. You will receive individual feedback for assignments from the teacher, and working life or peer feedback may also be utilised.]

Employer connections

Exam schedules

[Don't unnecessarily repeat the teaching schedule here. If the implementation has meetings with mandatory attendance, justify them here.]

Based on the degree regulations (2024), the student accepted for the implementation is required to confirm their participation by showing activity at the start of the study in the following way:

[Instructions: choose either option 1 (ready text to be used) or option 2, where you enter the way of showing activity yourself]

[Option 1:] In order to demonstrate activity, the student must be present at the first contact lesson or notify the teacher in charge of their absence to confirm their participation in the study. Registration will be rejected if the student does not report their absence at the start of the study or the reason for the absence cannot be considered justified. Another student can be taken in their place. The first contact lesson is [insert date].

[Option 2] In accordance with the degree regulations (2024), those who have been accepted for the study unit must confirm their participation [state the method, e.g. presenting in the discussion area; action may be required within a week of the start of implementation]. If the student does not confirm participation by acting in this way, his registration for the implementation will be rejected and another student can be taken in their place.

International connections

[Use this field to describe the possible realisation of internationality in the study unit (e.g. international partners).

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.

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.]

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. ]
