We remained active as our entire operation moved to the web in the spring of 2020. During the year, we developed future learning and competence, as well as cooperation, on our digital platforms.
We remained active as our entire operation moved to the web in the spring of 2020. During the year, we developed future learning and competence, as well as cooperation, on our digital platforms.
In the spring, we developed web-based learning, moved our events online and transferred interaction and mutual support to various virtual channels.
The transition was made easier by our online education, which advanced during the eAMK project, and by the competence of the teachers, which was increased by digipeda training courses. Additionally, the transition was made easier by the online education quality criteria, which were produced during the project, the increase in provision, and cooperation between universities. We have further developed online guidance as part of the AMKoodari project.
We also reached new target groups: journalists and upper secondary students with immigrant backgrounds. The educational programme for journalists that we created for those with immigrant backgrounds received funding for a new period. For upper secondary students, we produced a student webinar and open university of applied sciences vocational language studies.
We organised the Suomen paras myyntiorganisaatio (the Best Finnish Sales Organisation) competition together with the Union of Sales and Marketing Professionals, for the tenth time. Sales competence was also increased by the Myynnin ja markkinoinnin digiosaaja (Digital expert on marketing and sales) programme, which is a joint effort by 3UAS (Haaga-Helia, Metropolia and Laurea). The first graduates of the programme finished in March and the new batch began studies in the autumn.
The Kompetens 3.0 networking events, which have the goal of increasing Swedish language skills, had over 100 participants, who were inspired by 16 professionals from different fields. The topics covered in Swedish included coding, AI, search engine optimisation and many others.
We were also involved in organising the Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language web conference, for which the main themes were AI, machine learning and natural language.
Haaga-Helia organised the Suomen paras myyntiorganisaatio (the Best Finnish Sales Organisation) competition together with the Union of Sales and Marketing Professionals for the tenth time. The competition evaluated the sales strategy, sales management, sales work, client expertise, and sales processes and tools of companies. The participants of the 2020 competition also received research-based benchmarking knowledge. The winner was LämpöYkkönen Oy, with its special strengths in sales management, innovation, responsibility and client-centredness. The research results that were gathered from the competition show which qualities successful sales organisations have in common.
The hundredth fact check of the EUfactcheck project, which was initiated by Haaga-Helia, was celebrated in May. The project, which was already operating in more than twenty countries, grew to include the Balkans. The main objective of the project is to further fact-based public discussion and support the media reading skills and interest in communal matters of Europeans of all ages. At the same time, the project endeavours to develop European journalist education and thus to ensure high-quality journalism in the future. At Haaga-Helia, EUfactcheck has been integrated as part of the journalism degree programme.
At the beginning of 2020, the Eduix Oy funded Eduditra project was started at Haaga-Helia. The objective of the project is to study ecosystem solutions, the phases required for digital transformation, and the requirements and possibilities related to teaching and learning in developing countries, particularly in Namibia. The project studies the necessary ecosystem solutions, the required phases for digital transformation and the requirements and possibilities related to teaching and learning. The first phase of the Eduditra project concentrates on the study of the changes relating to the school system in Namibia. The project also studies the use of data gathered from digitalised processes in the design and targeting of education. The result is a model which can be used for the broader implementation of education digitalisation projects.
