The HAMK Learn Clear quality criteria were created during an audit carried out during the academic year 23-24. The criteria were based on the quality criteria for online learning that we already use, our university’s accessibility guidelines, and the templates we have built for the learning platform.

Module as a whole​

• The implementations form a single, clear module.​
• The learning outcomes and assessment criteria of the implementations are clearly presented.​
• The learning process and the student’s progress are clearly presented.​
• The total workload and periodicity of students are presented at module level, time use estimates are displayed.​
• The implementations have been opened to students two weeks before the start of their studies.​

Guidance, feedback and evaluation

• The platform has a channel for student feedback and questions.​
