6. Constructing the course
environment
– Every course design has some kind of ”home” environment. If you are
not using any on-line learning environment, you should at least have
one page (in wiki for example) where you give the basic information
about the course structure and have links to all the necessary materials
etc.
– The technical implementation is based on your scripts
– The course structure, timing and all the learning spaces and tools
(physical or virtual) should be somehow visible.
– Includes:
• Instructions and assignments DUE DATE:
14th of April
• Pictures, other visual elements
• Links or embeddings (existing materials) Send the link to your
environment
– Remember to test all the links, check the spelling to Venla and/or Jari
and revise the structural elements

pedagogical functionalities.
