Materials

Materiaali julkaistaan opintojakson Moodle.työtilassa.

Teaching methods

Opinnot suoritetaan kokonaisuudessaan verkossa Metropolian Moodle-oppimisympäristössä sekä tarvittaessa Zoom- tai Teams-alustojen kautta. Opinnot koostuvat opetusvideoista, kirjallisesta materiaalista ja harjoitustehtävistä. Voit suorittaa opintoja itsenäisesti omaan tahtiin opintojen aikataulun puitteissa. Opintojen aikana järjestetään opettajan pitämiä tukityöpajoja 2-3 viikon välein, poislukien loma-ajat.
