Inför lanseringen av nätbaserade masterutbildningar i hälsa och välfärd gjorde några medarbetare från Arcada ett besök hos Doba business school i Maribor, Slovenien. Doba business school har en lång erfarenhet att ha alla sina utbildningar på nätet. Doba har 1100 studenter med fem masters- och fem bachelorsutbildninar. Dessa går på fyra språk. Under två späckade dagar fick vi lyssna till hur de bygger upp nätkurser, vad som fungerar och vad…
As our two previous blog entries enlightened you mostly about why our project is important and who’s behind it, You may have begun to wonder how NURED will actually be carried out. How can we reach such ambitious goals – which steps are necessary along the way?

Arcadas forskarteam inom analytik är med i det pågående Tekes-projektet CloSer, Cloud-assisted Security Services, om molnbaserade säkerhetstjänster.

Dear readers, As promised, this week it’s time to get familiar with the NURED Project lead partner Finland & Arcada University of Applied Sciences. Finland is often presented as the land of a thousand lakes and summer villas. The land of dark winters, and a sun that never sets in the summer.

Welcome to the NURED Project blog on inside.arcada.fi, we are very happy that you found us! Here you will find updates about the project itself, as well as the talent behind it. But for now, let’s start at the very beginning: our logo. A good project needs a good name, so what does “NURED” stand for? Just letters thrown together, or something more?
