2. Topic and aims
● Project aims at creating a learning platform, where we can
practise to plan and implement a course structure.
● We use simulation as a technique to carry out a course plan
and design.
● Eeva Nikkola, Ritva Rundgren

3. What has been done so far?
● We have been in contact with the client face-to-face and via e-mail. There are
three stakeholders.
● We have participated in 1/3 face-to-face course lesson in Oulu where we
have taken a simulation role as a course participant and developer.
● We have discussed over various working modes.
● We started quite practically with simulation idea, because it is relevant to what
students do in this course design. It brings us closer to the course participant´s
experience and challenges.
● Eeva Nikkola, Ritva Rundgren

4. What has been done so far?
We have created alternative learning platform solutions.
a) For our own purposes and communication we have had
Google tools like Hangouts and Drive.
b) For client purposes we have had Wordpress blog.
c) We have completed our toolkit with Eliademy after
consultation and reflection.

5. How the group has worked?
● We are a couple. It has been easy and simple to negotiate
and agree on the course topic and way of working.
● Our skills have been complementary. We have a good sense
of reality on the education field.
● We want to make everything instructive for us and for the
other participants. We have enhanced our learning skills
on learning platforms as a user and as an administrator.
● We are familiar with the common obstacles in project
working
● Eeva Nikkola, Ritva Rundgren

6. Which challenges has been
confronted and how they have been
solved?
● Project phases cannot be completely predicted.
● Each stakeholder have the interests of their own.
● It is important to every stakeholder to listen to the other co-workers and find out
how strongly they can commit.
How to make things done? We have to find common understanding. Better
commitment from all creates new and maybe even unexpected outcomes.
Eeva Nikkola, Ritva Rundgren

7. Next steps...
● Surpassing our mental range (out of
the cake)
● Cannot possibly → Can I?
● Implementing the use of web-based
platform (Eliademy & Wordpress
Blog)
● Simulation continues tomorrow
