DigiUp! – Digital Skills and Quality in Online Teaching

DigiUp! – Digital skills and quality in online teaching

Project period: 7 June 2025 – 30 June 2026

During the 2025–2026 academic year, the DigiUp! project developed the quality of online teaching at Helsingin aikuisopisto by standardising the process and guidelines for planning and producing online courses. Teachers interested in online teaching were selected from different subject areas. Over the academic year, they each designed an online course and at the same time tested the materials that guide course planning. Teachers’ digital pedagogy skills were supported through workshops and webinars, and the project produced a video guide, Digiopettaja (The Digital Teacher).
