Virtual Studies

Exploitation of modern information and communication techniques has become a natural part of teaching and studying. Every student in PIRAMK University of Applied Sciences gets a user name to PIRAMK's web learning base Moodle. Courses can be carried out totally in the web learning base or can be used with lecture teaching as a learning environment or for example as information channel.

Students will sign in by using user names and passwords. Student's user name is the student number (for example 0500000).

PIRAMK's virtual studies (only in Finnish at the moment) can be completed in degree programmes' virtual courses. The list can be found from the Study Guide in Finnish.

The learning outcomes and objectives are the same as in lectures. The student's workload is also the same as in traditional teaching. The studying is, however, more flexible, but still there is some kind of timetable. Virtual studying gives more freedom with the study place: studies can be done whereever is an internet connection.
