Learning platform and teaching in practice
Once students are enrolled on one or more courses, students will have access to the relevant online courses on the learning platform. Each online course contains instructional texts, video lectures, practice assignments and compulsory submission assignments. The online course also includes recommendations about how much time you should spend on the topics within a course, information on how the different courses relate to each other, and in what order they should be taken. All academic content in the online course refers to the syllabus, provides additional comments to the syllabus, and if applicable, supplementary comments and problematisation of the syllabus literature. Each course will also include a number of exercises/self-tests, as well as previous examinations with associated answers. Video lectures have also been created to provide additional help. This should help students to assess their own progression and whether the learning objectives have been met.

For each online course, students will have access to an academic supervisor (online supervisor). The academic supervisor will often be the same academic person who has developed the academic content of the online course. The academic supervisor

is responsible for sending welcome messages to new students, answering academic questions from students, providing academic supervision and assessing submitted assignments on the course. Submitted assignments are compulsory and must be submitted and approved no later than ten working days before the examination date.

Students can choose whether they want to collaborate with other students and the learning platform provides access to digital tools that can be used to communicate with the supervisor and fellow students, plan their own academic progression and identify relevant partners for collaboration during the online course.

During teaching, students will learn to apply theory to practical issues taken from working life and identify the differences between research-based and experience-based knowledge. Through assignments, students will acquire the expertise to solve current and future challenges in the enterprises in which they will work after graduation. During the programme, students will develop the ability to identify and analyse practical issues and use theory to analyse and identify practical solutions for businesses and organisations.

Online students will gain the experience and expertise to organise their own learning in a way that allows them to plan and implement activities in line with the frameworks, requirements and guidelines defined for different projects.

Examination and assessment methods
A number of different examination and assessment methods are used throughout the programme. Assessment methods are adapted to the learning outcomes of the individual course; at the same time, we strive for an appropriate distribution of different examination methods throughout the programme. Assessment methods will reflect the desire to promote accountability amongst students. Therefore, there are several possible assessment methods that will be adapted to the unique character of the course and provide students with different challenges, both individually and in groups.

All courses include compulsory coursework requirements (submissions). Coursework requirements are requirements that students must fulfil in order to be admitted to the examination. The scope varies, but this will often entail at least two comprehensive submitted assignments in a course of 7.5 credits. For more extensive courses, the number of submissions will increase. Entrance to the examination is conditional upon meeting certain coursework requirements.

The scope of and plan for coursework requirements are specified in the course descriptions. (The grading for coursework requirements is Approved/Not Approved). For more information about examinations, see Kristiania University College’s website.
