Sovellettu tekstianalytiikka 5 op, DIG4HM007-3001 (Virtual) [IN FINNISH ONLY]
Opintojakson tavoitteena on tarjota opiskelijalle käytännönläheistä osaamista luonnollista kieltä olevan tekstin analysoinnin hyödyntämiseksi liiketoiminnassa. Mahdollisia sovellusalueita ovat mm. dokumenttien semanttiseen ymmärrykseen perustuvat sovellukset, keskusteleviin käyttöliittymät ja suuren tekstimassan analysointi päätöksenteon tueksi. Opintojakson suoritettuaan opiskelija mm. tuntee tekstianalytiikan käsitteet ja algoritmit, tuntee tekstianalytiikan työkaluja ja sovelluksia ja osaa suorittaa liiketoimintaa tukevan tekstitiedon analysoinnin käytännössä. Opintojakso on virtuaalinen perustuen yksilötehtäviin ja itsenäiseen etenemiseen, mutta toteutuksesta riippuen se voi kuitenkin sisältää ryhmätöitä ja vierailuluentoja, joita ei välttämättä nauhoiteta. 

Innovoi kiertotaloutta ja kestävää tulevaisuutta 5 op, OTH8HM006-3001 (Blended) [IN FINNISH ONLY]
Kiertotalouteen, vihreään liiketoimintaan siirtyminen on kriittistä ilmastonmuutoksen pysäyttämisen ja luonnon monimuotoisuuden säilyttämisen kannalta. Innovoimalla ja muotoilemalla parempaa, merkityksellistä tulevaisuutta voidaan vaikuttaa siihen, millainen tulevaisuus rakennetaan. Opintojaksolla kehitetään ratkaisuja yrityksen/yrityksien antamiin kiertotaloushaasteisiin monialaisissa tiimeissä.  Innovoinnissa hyödynnetään mm. kiertotalouden malleja, tarinan kerrontaa, protoilua sekä datan ja AI:n hyödyntämistä uusien ratkaisujen mahdollistajana.
