Aalto Online Learning is thrilled to present the work we have made in Aalto University to co-develop online and blended learning methods to Hacking Higher Education Finland (HHE)! Aalto Online Learning is among the 12 finalists of the competition.

HHE aims to create and reward solutions made for developing higher education services. The solutions should tackle a specific challenge with clear stakeholders. The possible stakeholder groups are students, alumni, staff or companies.

The initiatives will be judged based on the following criteria:

  1. Identifying a valid challenge in higher education services
  2. ​Effectiveness of the solution
  3. Novelty of the solution
  4. Scalability of the solution

Choosing the winner is done by the audience of Dare to Learn and voting for one's own favorite is possible for everyone already one week prior to the event itself. 

The finals are on Friday 20 September at 14-15:30. 

Dare to Learn is the biggest learning event in Northern Europe and it is held from 19 to 20 September in Korjaamo, Helsinki.
