Tiivistelmä
23 Finnish universities of applied sciences will open a shared digital courses offering in September 2018. The year-round digital courses offering will work under the name CampusOnline.fi. It will offer the students cross-studying opportunities between the educational institutions, as well as a new way of matching work and studying to shorten studying times, make study paths more versatile and, ultimately, secure better employment.
Behind the changes that are visible to the students, digital pedagogy and teachers’ competences are being developed via nation-wide coaching programme. The program started early 2018 to ensure that the staff competence on digital pedagogy is up to date with the renewing operating culture and that the quality of the courses offered through CampusOnline.fi is consistent and as high as possible.
The coaching programme is based on a quality criteria for online implementations, which consists of 11 topics:
1. Target group and users
2. Learning objectives, learning process and pedagogical solutions
3. Assignments
4. Contents and materials
5. Tools
6. Interaction
7. Guidance and feedback
8. Evaluation
9. Development
10. Usability and visuals
11. Support services
The quality criteria is available online in several languages and it is free of charge. It can be used for organisation-wide development work as well as for self-assessment by teachers. In addition to the coaching programme, several Finnish universities of applied sciences have utilized the quality criteria in their internal quality development.
The workshop engages participants to try out and experiment practical ways to use the quality criteria.
