Changes to implementation method codes

In the next academic year, there will be some minor changes to implementation method codes. Code ‘Blended’ will be combined with Contact or Online implementations i.e.  in addition to the actual implementation method, there are also online studies and/or independent virtual studies in an e-learning environment.

Virtual implementations have a new code ‘Instructed’. ‘Virtual, instructed’ means a guided virtual implementation in which the student completes tasks in an e-learning environment according to the implementation plan and there are no scheduled meetings. The student may choose to participate in guidance and feedback sessions provided by the teacher. In virtual implementation the student studies completely independently by doing mostly automated tasks in an online learning environment according to his/her own schedule. The implementation does not have scheduled teaching or other online meetings.
