Design Service Systems and Value Networks (5 cr)

Evaluation scale

H-5

Implementation methods, demonstration and Work&Study

This course uses systems thinking and design sprint as pedagogical approaches, supported by three main learning forms: (1) contact learning; (2) directed learning; and (3) self-directed learning. A proportion of the course hours provide the opportunity for learning contact between students and experts (the facilitator and industry partners). The three consecutive contact days are organised in the form of immersive design sprint for a real-life service network. The forms of directed learning used are individual pre-design sprint activities and team post-design sprint activities. Self-directed learning is also an important part of this course and students are encouraged to develop the ability to learn on their own and thus to take more responsibility for setting the objectives of their study work. This course uses Moodle as the course’s virtual learning environment. In short, this course provides:

24 hours of contact teaching/learning
110 hours of directed and self-directed learning
1 hour of the assessment of one’s own learning


Recognition of prior learning (RPL)
If students have acquired the required competences in previous work tasks, recreational activities or on another course, they can show their competencies 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)"
