Upon successful completion of the course, the student is able to
• identify emerging digital technologies and trends and observe their disruptive impact
• use different theoretical models for evaluating their adoption and maturity
• recognize and analyze business development opportunities of new technologies
• understand the requirements and challenges of applying new technologies

The content of the course varies yearly based on the changing technology trends.
• the impact of technology revolutions on society and businesses
• emerging digital technologies and trends (AI, IoT, VR/AR, blockchain, cloud computing, mobile technologies...)
• various models for evaluating the maturity and adoption of new technologies
• seeking and analysis of business opportunities of a new technology chosen by the student
• requirements and challenges for adoption of the chosen new technology

The course is implemented in fully virtual mode without contact lessons or virtual meetings. It is based on self-directed learning and individual assignments proceeding within a flexible time frame.

Recognition of prior learning (RPL)
If students have acquired the required competence in previous work tasks, recreational activities or on another certified course, they can show their competence via a demonstration. The demonstration must be agreed with the course teacher. More information and instructions for recognising and validating prior learning (RPL) are available at https://www.haaga-helia.fi/en/recognition-learning Look at "Instructions to students (master)"

The course material is updated constantly along with the progress of technologies. It is mainly based on online webinars, research articles, white papers and discussion forums.

When the implementation type of the course is contact, online or blended it is required that the student is present during those teaching hours that are marked in the study schedule. If you are absent more than 25%, your grade will be lowered by one. If you are absent more than 50%, the course is failed.

This course replaces the previous curriculum’s course New Opportunities of ICT (ISM4TX700).

There are no special prerequisites but the student must be capable of self-directed schedule planning and independent learning without supervision during the implementation.
