Teaching methods and instruction

The teaching method in this course is the flipped classroom. The Flipped Classroom is an approach where traditional learning structures are reversed. Instead of receiving lectures in class, students first study course materials, such as videos, readings, or presentations, before class. Classroom time is then used for interactive activities like discussions, problem-solving, or group work, allowing for deeper understanding.

Learning material and recommended literature

Material will be provided in the learning platform (Moodle)

Working life connections

The course is closely linked to working life, for it aims to help students analyse evolving competence needs, factors affecting individual and organisational learning and competency development, and opportunities for career design. They will be able to plan strategically driven competency development, support continuous learning, and utilise career design methods.
