Flexible implementation styles enable studying in a wide variety of situations\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

In the workshop, teams of three mentors discussed different flexible implementation ways of studying, and answers were put on the Miro platform. The themes of the discussion were the definition of the various implementations, their strengths as well as the ideas for developing and advancing these implementation types.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

24\/7 study mode \u2013 individual and flexible study path<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The 24\/7 study mode<\/span><\/a> has been a third way of studying at HAMK for years with daytime studies and studying alongside work. It refers to studying flexibly and at one’s own pace, where students make their personal study plan using different course offerings and can progress individually and at an accelerated pace. This study mode is suitable for students who have a lot of previous experience and are well-prepared for independent studying. In the workshop discussions, the digital pedagogy mentors brought up the following reflections on the 24\/7 study mode, for example:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
