Prerequisite: Basic computer skills Campus Online: max 20 students HAMK students register for studies in Pakki at the time shown in the implementation plan. Students from other universities of applied sciences primarily enrol in Peppi/Pakki. The course information (campusonline.fi portal) contains a registration form for students who are not yet able to enrol in Peppi/Pakki. Students accepted to the course from other universities of applied sciences will receive an email after the registration period has ended, with instructions on how to activate their HAMK user IDs. Note! the message may be redirected to the spam folder. HAMK’s Spark feedback system opens 7 days before the course/module ends and it stays open for 14 days after the end date. You may give course/module feedback via Pakki. A notification of the courses/modules (to whom you have registered) for which feedback can be given appears on the desktop. You will always receive a notification on the student desktop when a course/module is ready for feedback. You will receive a reminder in HAMK's e-mail on the end date of the implementation, if you have not already given feedback before. For more information on course/module feedback, see the student feedbackpage. CampusOnline students can provide course/module feedback via a browser at https://pakki.hamk.fi/spark.
