What kind of expertise does one need in future?
FINNSIGHT 2015:
• In future’s society there’s a need for new ways of learning. Learning occurs regardless of time and space.
• Modern technology affords plenty of new ways to learn, study and teach.
• It’s more and more important to know how to share expertise, work in teams and develop your skills and expertise continuoysly.

Learning objectivesAfter these studies students are able to
• make use of the essential learning theories in the contexts of individual and collaborative learning and life-long learning
• pedagogically evaluate different technologies in interaction, learning, and content production
• work collaboratively in different learning communities
• recognize the role of educational technology in learning society

Studying educational technology means…
• Diversity– We use many different teaching and
studying methods and wide range of technological tools and applications
• Collaborative studying– Big part of the studying is
implemented as a group work, face-to-face or on-line
• Internationality– Working together with the LET
programme’s students and other international partners
• Cooperation with local employers– In the Educational Projects course

Getting to know each other byExploring experiences &
expectations • Form groups of 3-4 students• In these groups
– Introduce yourself to the other group members– Share the experiences that you have had with
educational technology (using technology to support learning/teaching) so far
– Share also the expectations that you have for the studies: What are your personal learning goals?

INTROIntroduction to learning and educational Technology, 6 ects
Objective• The goal of the course is to examine the role of educational technology as a
part of the possibilities and demands of the learning society in different learning contexts. In this course, the students familiarize themselves with the theoretical background, core concepts, and practical applications of learning and educational technology. In this course, the students become acquainted with the different constituents of expertise, in connection with which they reflect upon their own expertise path in a digital portfolio. One central goal of this course is to learn to use and evaluate information and communications technology pedagogically.
Contents• Significance of educational technology in a learning society• Basic concepts related to educational technology• Introduction to the study of learning and educational technology: objectives,
research subjects and the theoretical framework• Expertise and reflecting upon one’s own expertise• Central ICT applications

THEORYLearning Theory and Pedagogical Use of Technology, 7 ects
Objective• The module includes three theoretical points of view on learning and the
support of learning, i.e., self-regulated learning, collaborative learning, and the acquisition of expertise. A central topic of examination is the potential of different technologies to support learning and collaborative knowledge construction. In this course, the student will be introduced to different collaborative learning models and themes related to the guidance and evaluation of learning.
Contents• Self-regulated learning: Motivation and learning strategies in technology-
supported environments• Collaborative learning, Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL)
and collaborative learning models• Learning of expertise• Possibilities of supporting learning offered by technology• Planning technology-supported learning, guiding, and evaluating learning

TEL 1Designing Technology-Enhanced Learning, 6 ects
Objective• Students become familiar with the key concepts, competing
theories and approaches of designing Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL). In collaboration with international students they will develop practical skills of setting up, implementing and evaluating the use of distributed set of integrated TEL systems and tools, and they will design a prototype of an advanced TEL course. This course will be implemented in international collaboration.
Contents• Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) concept• Designing TEL: design process, selection of technology,
constructing TEL environment• Implementing TEL• Evaluating TEL

PROJECTSEducational Projects, 6 ects
Objective• The goal of this course is to implement a project in which the students study
the theory of project work and project management and participate in the implementation of a project as a part of the project team. The areas of application of the project are development challenges related to learning and educational technology. Different technological applications will be utilized in the project, and the use of those applications as learning tools will be evaluated and developed.
Contents• Basics of project work• Planning, practical realisation, and administration of project work• Special characteristics of educational projects• The utilization of technology in project work and educational projects• Development challenges in the field of learning and educational technology
